Personally I don't use Ubuntu, but I understand they've spent a lot of effort to integrate Secure Boot to the standard installation process and to make it as user-friendly as possible. KDE Neon is apparently an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, and so it has the same Secure Boot facilities as the corresponding version of Ubuntu Linux. If all the necessary facilities for handling Secure Boot are not yet in place in a particular Linux distribution, then disabling Secure Boot may be necessary to either allow the use of third-party kernel modules, or the use of that Linux distribution altogether. If the provider of the third-party modules provides pre-signed modules, it might also be possible to add the public certificate of that module provider to the kernel's whitelist. That can include include configuring Secure Boot with a custom certificate, and signing third-party modules using that certificate when installed using the distribution's standard procedure. More and more Linux distributions are adding the necessary facilities for full support of Secure Boot.
