ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. I LITERALLY JUST DISABLED SECURE BOOT TO GET NVIDIA DRIVERS TO WORK ON LINUX.

Until recently, the U.S. and China were positioned to benefit from the clean-energy revolution. China already dominates manufacturing of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines, and controls much of the rare earth minerals required to produce those clean technologies. Historically, the U.S. has led in research, innovation, and software, though China has overtaken us in many of these areas, such as electric vehicles and patents.

Now, Trump is ceding the field entirely, which amounts to nothing short of unilateral disarmament. His tax cuts have gutted U.S. clean‑energy incentives. He has withheld financial support for renewable energy and used red tape to kill off existing projects. Meanwhile, China’s investments in green solutions continue.

Now compare that to the issues we are seeing in America and you might understand the point I am getting at.

Again, just for you, both America and China are doing bad things, but at least they invest in infrastructure and growth.

The US is literally stripping public services for parts as we speak.

I appreciate a media outlet spreading the message that China is beating our ass in the technology race.

Both the US and China do evil shit, but at least China invests in infrastructure and growth.

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!

Thanks again!

I'll give that a shot, thanks for the advice!

I am trying to use Mint Linux. It does not just work.

I am not against lunix, but you do need to dedicate time and effort to learn how to get it to do what you want it to.

It has not been an out of box experience for me. In my case, I am running into a GPU issue where installing Nvidia drivers makes the OS boot in safe mode and I have to restore to a previous state from the timeline to get it to boot normally.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions! I appreciate that I got these responses from this community instead of a negative dogpile!

Edit2: Hearing a lot of pop_OS suggestions, might give that a spin if I keep on running into Mint issues.

Not sure if these numbers still work, but if anybody is bored:
