From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a thing with certain laptops, where their secure boot certs are outdated or something. Not really anything you can do to fix, but it doesnt mean anything in practice - I never had issues with it after running linux across multiple distros about a year on my Acer nitro 5.
only thing you might have issues with is using secure boot in certain distros but if you don't have problems then no need to worry
Thanks for your reply! That goes for both the errors?
the gpio one could also just be the BIOS being whacky. I think I have the same one show up on my Acer laptop and I've never had an issue.
The gpio one was fixed with the last update :)
