You should be able to disable secure boot on x86/64 and as I understand it the linux communities that are getting their own keys are to allow people unfamiliar with a BIOS to still install and/or for those that want the security that secure boot allows. As far as running DBAN I try and avoid any delays or gotchas with RMAs. While I agree that you should be able to erase I dont waste my time arguing with someone parroting their script. In any case I would suggest buying a seperate SSD for every computer these days since 100 GB is probably enough for most OS installs and they improve performance for "little" extra money. Good luck with the purchase.
