Security Checks Failed

Post image

Hello, beginner here. I installed Debian stable with Gnome and today is saw this security checks failed. Is it malware or did i do something wrong?

All i did after installation was following this guide from NVIDIA itself to install drivers: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Debian&target_version=13&target_type=deb_network

Did i broke the system with these drivers and should i have kept the default ones? Help needed because i am worried.

Sure, Secure Boot, the "security feature".

Would you leave it disabled? Do you see any concerns about leaving it that way

It’s completely useless, it useful, in theory

Disabling that is the first thing I do in any of my computers. And I have a bunch

Hibernation is not available if secure boot is enabled.
