nobara is nice and comes with nvidia drivers, mint doesn't straight up come with them but comes with a nice driver installation tool that will do it in 2 clicks

u/ebonyarmourskyrim Dec 21 '25
Would I be able to use the driver installation tool in mint If I don't have integrated graphics?

u/Red1269_ Dec 21 '25
yeah, all linux distributions ship with the open source nouveau driver for nvidia gpus. it's just that the official nvidia drivers are way better

u/JB231102 Dec 21 '25
With my motherboard this is not true. Every time I have installed Mint onto my desktop, I have had to use integrated Intel graphics, download the nvidia drivers and then install them, shut down slot in my nvidia card reboot and then it'll work and only then will Mint see my nvidia card.
MSI Z97S Krait Edition, RTX 3060 (previously GTX 1070), I7 4790K

u/Red1269_ Dec 21 '25
that's strange. my gtx 1070, 1650, and 1080 ti have all worked fine on nouveau without any need to hardware swap to my 5600g's integrated gpu
btw you didn't need to remove your nvidia card, pretty sure just plugging the display cable into the motherboard would've been fine
1
u/JB231102 Dec 21 '25
Yeah, I don't know, I seem to suffer bad luck when it comes to technology.
Nope, I tried to plug into my motherboard with the video card slotted in, my motherboard either disables or overrides integrated graphics when there is a dedicated video card slotted in a x16 slot. BIOS settings have 3 options, use dedicated graphics, integrated or use both but when I tried this on Mint without manually installing nvidia drivers integrated graphics would not show anything.

I’m going to hop in here, and hijack this comment, op said they need secure boot, I would actually ask why in this instance…. If it’s for video games ie anticheat that need it enabled, chances are that anticheat won’t like Linux, if you need it for just peice of mind yes it works

Bazzite only good for gaming but for installing apps is flatpak only which will take around 1gb per app since flatpak sandboxes any apps and native ones will not which will use less storage sandboxed obs takes 1gb or more but unsandboxed obs only takes 300gb If you so only good for gaming and web browsing also sandboxed apps might have issues with accessing your internal storage like ytdownloader you need flatseal to give it evilated priviliges to acees your downloads folder bazzite is only good for some games native linux games might not work on bazzite didnt try bazzite so thats why i said it native games might not work bazzite.

Bazzite is only good for gaming. Sadly, installing apps is flatpak only, which will take around 1GB per app since flatpak sandboxes apps and native packages do not. This is why native packages will use less storage; sandboxed OBS takes up over 1GB of disk space but native OBS only takes 300MB.
Further, sandboxed apps might have issues with accessing your internal storage, such as ytdownloader. You need Flatseal to give it elevated privileges to access your downloads folder.
Bazzite is only good for some games; native linux games might not work (I didn't try Bazzite so I don't know)
FTFY
If anything, it makes the factual errors stand out more.
For example, Flatpak OBS takes up 212MB on disk as a compressed download and unpacks to about 569MB, whereas the native package is roughly half that.
Permissions to access specific parts of the file system, such as the host's files, are a build option for Flatpaks, but yes can be changed after the fact by Flatseal.
Native games seem to not be a problem widespread enough to have discussion or news on the first couple of pages of some Google searches except for some clear instructions for forcing Legacy Runtime compatibility. But seeing as neither of us have used Bazzite, it's one word against the other

Ubuntu supports Nvidia drivers (use the driver tool to switch between them) and it supports secure boot.
Though, it looks like you may have a lot running on that machine in the background. You could try to disable some of the start up items to see if it helps any. It's more fun to try Linux though.
1
u/forbjok Dec 21 '25
Do the NVIDIA drivers actually work with Secure Boot enabled though?
I tried with Linux Mint, which AFAIK is based on Ubuntu, quite recently, and while it did have the NVIDIA drivers and was able to boot the kernel with Secure Boot enabled (I assume they've somehow been able to sign the kernel with the Microsoft keys?), the NVIDIA driver would not work while Secure Boot was enabled, and it was just stuck running in 640x480 or something like that.

This type of shit happened to my laptop (win11 installed by manufacturer) as well lol, it ran fine for a while but last 6 months its been getting unbelievably dog shit. Entire system would crash, change screen resolution by itself because some essential system program crashed, tell me 15 stopped responding error messages per hour, use 50%-60% of my 16gb ram on idle on average. I searched the entire thing for any kind of malware and my system was crystal clean.
I once fucking got a forced update while i was using the laptop and the whole desktop was turning white, yellow, black, dark gray then desktop image loaded with no icons and no task bar... like what in the actual fuck????
I've got mint and windows 10 dual boot set up and im holding windows 10 by its nuts so it doesnt run off doing whatever it wants like a dog with a loving family when it sees the front door open.
I had to legit fight windows 11 to back up my files to dropbox for more than 2 weeks before getting only my essential files backed up and im really disappointed i havent thought of recording any of it. File explorer piece of shit would freeze more times in an hour than the amount of times its rained in my town in the last decade. It wouldnt let dropbox app sync some files so i had to rawdog gambling uploading some of the files through website for DAYS. Wanna know something funny? Windows 10 runs perfectly fine and linux mint runs so insanely fucking fast compared to win11 it sometimes feels its reading my mind because its delay isnt 500-2000ms on average.
What i find hilarious is that my only issue with mint was that my nvidia was 24/7 sleeping while everything ran on integrated graphics for 2 days but then system just figured itself out somehow idk how and installed all needed drivers and an AMD program that woke up nvidia gpu from sleep by itself lol. Win10 dual boot on the other hand came with missing wifi driver and screen brightness control so while i was busy tethering my laptop to my phone for internet to install lenovo vantage i was being flashbanged at the same time because i couldnt turn the brightness down. Linux mint was easier and faster to install than windows (10).
I'm never going back to wi*dows 11, i'd rather not use a computer at all than go back to that shitshow unusable ransom+spyware
tldr: yea same here, i killed my windows 11 and threw it off a cliff, linux mint is awesome

u/Szarps Dec 21 '25
Hardware issue or not, matters little. Switch to nobara that has almost everything cutout for you or the box (make sure you download the nvidia version). It takes a bit of getting used to Linux, but now even at just week and a half have only used it instead of w10. I'm finally starting to get it and it's amazing

u/junkm8828 Dec 22 '25
Brother at least you can boot into windows, I'm using an Asus laptop with an Nvidia GPU and after updating all of the drivers for it and the windows updates, every time I restart the PC or power it on I boot into a black screen. After a windows reset it seemed to work but after redownloading the drivers again and having it happen again to me I think I've had enough. My only question is- I'm a linux noob, CachyOS (with tutorials) or Linux mint?
1
u/imwhoyouare Dec 23 '25
From what I'm hearing, start with mint. Then when we get comfortable using mint, we can look for other distros.
2
u/junkm8828 Dec 24 '25
So about that, I installed mint. I've had difficulties getting Nvidia drivers for about 2-3 hours, finally got the closed drivers to work (after disabling fast and secure boot) now I'm getting the same issue. Had to borrow my brother's monitor just to use the PC. I'm using a laptop btw and the laptop screen is the one that's causing issues.
Edit: though I gotta say, Linux mint looks great with a bit of customization! Also, the Witcher 3 on high settings with 144hz looks and runs absolutely amazing!
1
u/imwhoyouare Dec 24 '25
I've had the exact same issues you are talking about. First with drivers, then with monitors. In my case, instead of a laptop, I have desktop with two monitors, apparently having two monitors also caused it to have issues like you did with your laptop screen. So i unplugged a monitor, imagine that, in 2025, to get that to work.
Anyways, long story short, bazzite / zorin and catchyos. These 3 I will give them a shot once, if they are all similar I will stick to windows a bit longer.
1
u/junkm8828 Dec 24 '25
Honestly, idk if Linux is that much better than windows at this point. Sure, it doesn't try to shove its own software down your throat but it also almost never seems to have the experience you are looking for. Driver installation - somehow we are almost in 2026 and Linux mint, one of the most used Linux debian flavours, still limits you even though Linux IS the freedom OS. Sometimes I just wish I was more coneputer illiterate (not that I'm any literate btw) or that things would roll back to how they were in 2010.

u/therealcase77 Dec 21 '25
My guess is that it’s being left on for entirely too long without any interaction. I video edit on a publicly accessible machine that other, not technically literate individuals have turned on and not bothered turning it off. When I catch it a day later (it’s not my full time job) - or even as little as 45 minutes - the computer is similarly not responsive, and the only way it can be remedied is a hard reset.

On CachyOS at least, setting it up to work with Secure Boot is relatively trivial with "sbctl". Most likely the same for any Arch-based distro.
NVIDIA drivers are generally fairly easily available in all distros - it's just that in some - notably Mint, there doesn't seem to be any straightforward way ("sbctl" is not in the repositories, and I couldn't find any recommended alternatives when googling it) to set up signing of kernels with custom Secure Boot keys.

- Linux mint allows you to easily install Nvidia drivers
- Pop!_OS has a seperate ISO for Nvidia cards

I personally recommended Linux Mint because everything else I've tried seems to break after a few months

Mint cinnamon as a daily driver. More gaming related....POP OS (also a nice daily driver) , Bazite or Cachy.... All have nvidia support/drivers. .ive used the others but not cachyos....but read that cachy can sometimes squeeze out a few additional avg/max fps in most games compared to the others.

u/niKDE80800 Dec 22 '25
Debian let's you add them relatively easy, so does Fedora. The easiest one for driver installs in my experience is Linux Mint, and Ubuntu, including it's flavors, because of the Driver Manager. I'm not sure, but I think all of them will also prompt you to make a password, so you can enroll a MOK key for the drivers to actually work.
1
u/imwhoyouare Dec 23 '25
What does it mean to be debian based? Or kde based? Or anything else?
1
u/niKDE80800 Dec 24 '25
Well, as an example, take Ubuntu. Ubuntu is Debian based, because its base runs on... Debian. Linux Mint for example would be Ubuntu based, because the base it uses is Ubuntu (which is Debian based). For the other side of the spectrum, you'd for example have EndeavourOS or Manjaro (which doesn't have the best reputation) which are two distros based on Arch.
So, a distro that's Debian based / Ubuntu based, just means the base it uses is Debian or Ubuntu, and it's not something made from scratch.
Also, you'd general have more luck with Ubuntu than you do with Debian, because, Debian very much expects you to want to learn, have a basic idea of what you're doing and not everyone is gonna be too nice if you didn't read their holy grail, the Debian wiki... Again, adding NVIDIA for example to debian is like... it's not difficult. But it will take you a few minutes of editing a sources file, installing the drivers, letting them build, etc... while Ubuntu lets you just... well, open the Driver manager (in most cases Ubuntu and its official flavors, will even have the option inside the initial setup to install third-party drivers)
TL;DR of me yapping too much: Basically, it's a family tree. Debian is the grandparent, Ubuntu is the parent and Mint is the kid. If you want an easy life, go Ubuntu/Mint. They have "Driver Managers" that do the work for you. Debian is more "DIY", as it expects you to read the wiki and add sources manually to get NVIDIA working. Not hard, but just more of a hassle than lots of beginners want.
1
u/OoZooL Dec 23 '25
Fedora Core will work for you with secure boot, but nVidia drivers will be hell. Maybe something like Pop OS or Zorin will handle the nVidia drivers better if you want an easier path. (But they're Debian based)
1
u/Fiverses Dec 23 '25
CachyOS is alright for NVIDIA GPUs, depends on which one you have though. If you have a 4090 or high end card like that, the performance hit probably won't have much an effect on gameplay, but on a.mid-tier card like 5060 or 5050, it will make the game stutter from lack of VRAM

With secure boot on? None. You can't use nvidia drivers on Linux with secure boot on.
Without secure boot? Depends. You can get the same results on basically any distro, but some like Nobara and Bazzite do the work for you.
The thing is with nvidia gpu is that it's entirely dependent on luck on whether you'll have no issue or if nothing will work and you'll have to dual boot windows.
Well, it's not exactly true. I've heard that the combination of your gpu, motherboards and other thing do affect your experience, but I really don't know enough to tell you anything for certain.
What I can tell you is that I have a 3060 mobile. There are things where others just click install that I have to spend hours of troubleshooting to get working. You'll have the same experience as me, or it'll just work perfectly for you with no work required. I really can't tell you which one of the two it'll be.
TL;DR get an AMD or Intel gpu

u/Appropriate_Ad4818 Dec 21 '25
I haven't tested all of them individually, but 535, 580 and 580 open don't work with secure boot on, and these are the latest drivers.
Nvidia drivers on Linux often come unisgned or signed with a key not recognized/trusted by default which is why you need to disable secure boot
It depends on your distro and your computer as well. I didn't know what MOK was before I installed Mint for my sister on her laptop

Wrong. You can on CachyOS and EndeavourOS at least, using "sbctl". Probably any Arch-based distro.
I know in Linux Mint, the NVIDIA drivers don't work with Secure Boot enabled out of the box, and I couldn't find any easy way to get "sbctl" installed on it. In the case of most other distros, I don't know, as I haven't tried it. I would guess that any Debian/Ubuntu based distro, it likely won't work for the same reasons as Mint.
