I just installed Linux Mint a couple of hours ago, and I'm trying to run a game. I checked in the terminal and it seems like my system doesn't detect any GPU. I think this might have happened because I accidentally left Secure Boot enabled while installing Linux. I have two NVIDIA graphics cards: a GeForce GT 1030 and a GeForce RTX 2060 (12GB). Is there a way to get Linux Mint to recognize and use my graphics cards?

When you post questions, always include details like your distro, hardware specs, and any error messages you see. It helps others help you better! Since you're using Linux Mint, make sure to check whether both cards are detected using the command 'lspci'. If nothing shows up, you might want to look into the NVIDIA driver installation.
Actually, you don’t need to disable Secure Boot for Linux Mint to work with your graphics cards. It might just be that the drivers for your NVIDIA cards aren’t installed or configured properly. Try checking if the proprietary NVIDIA drivers are available in the "Driver Manager" under the system settings. If they are, go ahead and install them.
