Security Chip

[Justin Brown]

There's no need to be concerned. You're conflating a few different issues.

The security chip is a TPM, and they have been fairly common for several
years. It just allows secure key storage for software that might need it. A
TPM won't get in your way.

The other issue is UEFI Secure Boot. There's lots of opinions on the
matter, plus it's quite complicated, so I'll leave that to you to research.
That being said, I received a T440S this week, which is running the same
UEFI. Fedora 20 takes care of all the secure boot and UEFI setup without
any issue. I am using f20 with secure boot and didn't need to configure a
thing.
