I've been trying to disable NX Mode in my BIOS for better latency, but I can't get Linux to boot with it turned off. I made a little guide on how to edit Grub for this, but every time I disable NX Mode, Linux just doesn't start up—this happens with Mint, Cachy OS, and other distros I've tried. I'm really stumped here. Has anyone found a way to make Linux work with NX Mode disabled?

I get what you're saying about wanting lower latency, but turning off NX Mode typically doesn’t change that. In fact, I've heard that it doesn't really affect latency at all. Are you sure you need it off to improve speed?
Actually, having NX Mode enabled isn't really a weird requirement—it's a key security feature that most processors have supported for ages. Disabling it might impact your system's security more than you realize. Have you thought about why you want to disable it?
Thanks for the input! I've read conflicting information about latency related to NX. I'm just trying to figure out how to get Linux to boot without it.
