Mint install on late 2022 Dell laptop, what are the required BIOS setting recommendations?
Notes:
- install to go a virgin Me drive, Windows not present.
- a test Mint XFCE live boot USB worked fine, after selecting it as boot volume (on Windows restart, I was asked for my security key, Bitlocker/encryption issue, which I had to go fetch in my MS account )
I want to make sure that post-install, I do not run into the system or BIOS ignoring Mint, because of a trailing Windows-specific setting.

Did it, it went well, but didn't expect to have to create password for Secure Boot on first restart.

What a relief moving away from W11!

Some device drivers won't load if not signed = nvidia and some wifi drivers.
