Hi. I read somewhere that you need to tinker with bios / secure boot? In order to install NVIDIA drivers on Linux. Is this true?

    I believe secure boot must be disabled as the Nvidia drivers aren’t signed for it. You can install the drivers with it enabled but secure boot will prevent them from being loaded at boot up.

      Alright, thank you. It seems like Secure Boot is already disabled on my device :]

        I think I read somewhere that there is a process to sign the drivers so you can secure boot, but I never have. I go the rpmfusion route. It’s quite easy.

      Wouldn’t this be a problem if I wanted to dual boot Win 11 and Linux?
