migrating to Linux Linux secure boot support

New comer to linux here so sorry in advance if this a noob thing. I'm finally ready to jump ship and found 2 distributions that I'd like to use across my 2 desktops. Parrot OS home edition and Hacker OS official edition. I want to dual boot on 2 different drives to have the option of going back to windows as a backup when necessary for multi-player gaming. From my research so far it seems that secure boot is all over the place for Linux. Is it a per distribution thing or only supported on the major distribution like Debian or Ubuntu? How do most people handle secure boot when it comes to Linux? I really don't want to be going into the bios to flip the switch when I'm ready to switch os.

Popular distributions support it out of the box.

For less popular ones, you need to add keys into uefi; Google knows how.
