How to Enable My NVIDIA Graphics Cards on Linux Mint?
Asked by

I just installed Linux Mint a couple of hours ago, and I was trying to get a game to run. When I checked in the terminal, it looks like the system doesn't recognize any GPU. I think this might be because I forgot to disable Secure Boot until after I had already installed Linux. Is there a way to enable my graphics cards so that Linux can use them? I have two NVIDIA cards: a GeForce GT 1030 and a GeForce RTX 2060 with 12GB of memory.

Disabling Secure Boot isn't actually required for Linux Mint. If your system doesn't see the graphics cards at all, make sure you're including details about what cards you have and any error messages you're running into. It helps a lot for troubleshooting!

Definitely mention your distribution and specific hardware info when you're asking for help with tech issues! It really makes it easier for people to assist you. I'd check that both cards are properly seated and recognized in the BIOS settings as well.
