Never heard of this before and couldn't find anything about secure boot being required to be enabled to use the Nvidia drivers with Linux.
But since you used dual boot you need to have secure boot enabled anyway, because win 11 would not work without it, would it?

You can search duckduckgo for Nvidia mok secure boot mint and you'll see what I'm talking about.

This is about signing the driver when secure boot is enabled. It doesn't say that Nvidia won't work with secure boot disabled.
I'm using Nvidia with debian and secure boot disabled btw. So the statement, "Nvidia won't work with secure boot disabled" is still wrong. Might be some Linux mint bug, but not a problem of Nvidia per se
fair enough, I had not tested any other distros, my bad.
