Its been a while since I've wiped a laptop with and wanted to make sure there was no reason why this should be an issue. Picked up a used system 76 laptop that has ubuntu 15 preinstalled. Planning on wiping it for security reasons with a ubuntu boot usb.

While I don't think this should be an issue, I just wanted to check with the community first.

Thanks in advance

Recreating the partition table and then letting Ubuntu create new partitions (either during installation or manually via fdisk or a GUI partition manager like GParted) may not be forensically secure, but if you perform a secure wipe of the entire drive then do the above, you should be fine for anyone with fewer resources than the CIA or NSA.
