Secure Boot: should this be disabled? I guess so, because it is su[[[osed to ensure that the system only uses validated software (which I guess would be to Windoze).
Not necessary. Fedora includes a shim which complies with the signing
requirements.
I see, thank you for this! Do you know which rpm would have this?
AFAIK it's just part of the standard kernel RPMs and will install by
default. You don't have to do anything special. If Secure Boot is
disabled, it will have no effect
As an update, I may have missed something, but I was not even able to boot into the USB with Fedora without disabling SecureBoot. Since I don't know if I value SecureBoot, I disabled it and proceeded.
Many thanks again and best wishes,
Ranjan
Not sure about current versions of Fedora but in the past, there was a
special image for secure boot systems. You need to have a signed USB
stick for secure boot. I have used secure boot multiple times. On my
present desktop, I have to select USB in the BIOS to boot. Won't do it
automatically. On one machine, will only select USB if the stick is
already in the machine on powerup and then it wasn't clear how to select
the USB stick.
I also had an issue with burning images to USB recently so it is
possible that the image you burned wasn't setup to be bootable.
I would test the USB stick and see if it boots in another machine, just
to ensure that it boots.
I have been using secure boot for years on all my machines.
