    Secureboot doesn’t “fuck with Linux”. It does protect you from malware trying to install unsigned kernel modules.

    Apparently that driver is unsigned, which is not the normal case nowadays.

      Good to know, thanks

      I was trying to install an Nvidia driver on Linux Mint, so I think I am safe.

        This type of attack has been seen in the wild for quite some time. Ultimately it’s a security vs convenience decision.
