For a long time, Windows was the only serious choice for PC gaming. But according to a recent Steam survey, the landscape is starting to change. The open-source operating system Linux is gaining ground in the gaming world – and with good reason.
IT WORKED! I disabled secure boot and that was enough for me to be able to install the 550 version! The game I was trying to get to launch for a while worked!
FYI, Nvidia drivers can be a bit hit and miss. It takes a little bit of fidgeting to find a combination of kernel and Nvidia that works. And when you do, use timeshuft to make a restore point so that in the future you have a functioning setup to work with.
And when you find a combination that works well, stick to it. The “Omg, new driver is out”-reaction will only cause issues.
For me, Nvidia 535 is the one that has been working out the best. I think I’m running something newer now, but it’s still alright.
Mint main, here. This is the way - Now and then Nvidia driver updates do cause some issues, so when upgrading I always make a time shift restore point in case the kernel+Nvidia combo doesn’t behave properly.
Use the built-driver installer. Disable secure boot.

Thanks again!
So nice to hear! Thanks for reporting back!
I’ll give that a shot, thanks for the advice!
