You do not need to disable secure boot in all cases in

This is probably true and may even be true for this machine. However, I
haven't used windows for years aside from one or two utilities that happen
to work with wine (convert this file to that kinds of things) so I have
very little incentive to make windows work on my machine. the last windows
in the house (my wife's machine) was win95 and was removed when it started
sending nasty emails to every email address it could find. Aside from
that, it was not only secure boot I had to change in the bios. Beyond
that, an iso usb stick from a major distro like Ubuntu should come with
instructions beyond "boot from iso and install". A "known problems and
workarounds" link would be reasonable.
