[colug-432] Seeking technical assistance for Mint on Yoga 2 Pro

[Eric Floehr]

This was likely true at one time, but I've personally successfully
installed the most recent versions of Linux Mint[1], Ubuntu[2], and
Fedora[3] with Secure Boot enabled. This is on a Lenovo t440s which is a
cousin of the Yoga 2 Pro.

So that likely isn't the problem. Whether or not Secure Boot is necessary,
required, or preferred is a different question.
