A new laptop is on the way. I'm planning on completely removing Windows 8 and having a GNU/Linux only machine.
So, I'll have the luxury of choosing my setup. Most of the Ubuntu documentation on UEFI focuses on working around what's already there... but there's no discussion of what's best if you can choose.
GPT seems to be better than MBR for large disks and multiple partitions, but i'm not sure about the rest.
E.g. is secureboot actually useful, or is it just a PITA with Linux?
Please share your nuggets of wisdom!
Thanks,
