[SOLVED] Secure boot recommendation

I live in relatively safe place and chose not to encrypt the drive.
I have searched the web for this, but can't get a certain answer if SB would help to avoid any bugs / order the boot properly?
Again, the focus is on reliability, not security.
I am interested in subjective opinions.

Re: [SOLVED] Secure boot recommendation

It would not help at all with "reliability" as you've defined it. Secure boot is primarily for security, it will add a bunch of logical complexity to ensure that your hardware can only boot your own system and said system can only be booted from your hardware. If the disk isn't encrypted, someone can just take out the disk and read/mount it into his system.

If you have no concern for the security implications secure boot protects you from, there will be no inherent benefit to it.
