From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It didnt? I've tried it once before, there was no prompt and then the graphics started glitching, so I reinstalled the old one, there was no prompt again, and now the system is saying there's not nvidia GPU driver

Does your BIOS have the secureboot keys installed?

Did you generate keys? Or use keys already on the system? Also, is this Mint 20?
