So I got a new HP Victus 2023, and I want to install Fedora on it, it has an RTX 4050 and has win11 preinstalled, my last laptop was a 2014 Toshiba and I only had to disable secure boot for Linux to run, is there something else to disable before installing Fedora ? Maybe TPM?

    I’m only worried about the nvidia driver, will it work with secure boot enabled? Given I install it from rpmfusion

      It can, but it requires creating your own signing key, registering it with secure boot, and signing your nvidia driver.

      There’s a guide here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1049479

      But if you’re running any out of tree drivers (e.g. the nvidia driver), I’d recommend just leaving secure boot off.

        Yep, I guess I should have lead with that, but I’ve been on an AMD GPU for so long I almost forgot what a pain closed source Nvidia drivers can be.
