It apparently has something to do with driver-incompatibility and
third-party drivers seem to be the most problematic.

A search for "Secure Boot" with "Ubuntu" is encouraging, though. It
looks like most of the kinks have been ironed out and it can usually
be left enabled. I didn't realize that.

It could be.

Mine is currently disabled and, like yours, has been from the start.
Perhaps I should try enabling it to see if anything breaks. In this
household, it can sometimes be considered a sport to see how far
something can be "stretched" before it "breaks" and then figure out
how to recover from it, which can sometimes be rather challenging.
