my acer has no option to turn off secure boot unfortunately so I am unable to
install Slackware based linux distributions, and its looking like acer may
require that bios passwords are used if you do want to have no secure boot,
for those who do not know, a bios password is a password for your pc bios,
you have to enter it every time you go into the boot menu, the bios settings,
and in rare cases, booting from your hard drive, its the only way to disable
secure boot on an acer notebook

UEFI should not be an issue (most people use it even no knowing that they do)
,
but Secure Boot is hard, yes, including for me <smile>
