Are you sure this is not the wrong way round? We still don't support secure boot. However, your MacBook may require it. Anyway, if it does require a secure bootable OS, your best bet may be to install PVE on top of Debian [1].

Install Debian 12 Bookworm with secure book and then upgrade to PVE 8, as described in the aforementioned link.
