I recently set up a dual boot with Linux Mint and had to disable my secure boot in order to install it. Now, I've run into an issue where I can't play Valorant on Windows. If I turn secure boot back on, will I lose access to my Linux Mint installation, or is there a way to make both systems work together?

You don't actually need to disable Secure Boot. If you're using Nvidia drivers, though, you might have to reinstall them after turning secure boot back on. It's worth checking out resources like the Arch or Gentoo wikis for specific guidance on properly configuring Secure Boot so you can boot both systems easily.
Changing BIOS settings can be a hassle, but don't worry—reverting them won't wipe your Linux Mint installation. You can usually run Mint with secure boot enabled. If it doesn't work right away, just toggle the secure boot setting back and forth based on what you're using. Some BIOS setups even let you create profiles to quickly switch multiple settings, which is super handy!
I've heard you should avoid games that use heavy anti-cheat systems if you're dual-booting like this. They're often the ones that get tricky with Secure Boot, so keep that in mind when making your choices.
