I have had a lot of experience with Linux on laptops, and have had similar issues. Most, if not all, Linux distributions now support secure boot in UEFI systems. The problem is when the BIOS manufacturer cheats and only supports Windows and ignores all other operating systems - which is common. If a current distro (in the last year or so) does not support UEFI, or if it does but will not boot, then you MUST turn off UEFI/Secure Boot in the BIOS.

In this case, Joe is looking to install a distro built on Debian 9, which fully supports UEFI. I have sent Joe the relevant instructions on changing to Legacy mode, which should fix his problem. The good news is that all his hardware should be fully supported out of the box without any problems..
