Secure Boot is not supported and must be disabled.
Contains three versions of NVIDIA proprietary GPU drivers - current 550.x,
and legacy 390.x and 340.x. At boot time, the 'linuxrc' script automatically
determines which driver squashfs module to load.
The default boot option is 64bit Linux 6.10 kernel. NVIDIA 550.x and 390.x
driver modules are pre-built.
Additionally, a 64bit Linux 5.10 kernel is supplied. It must be selected if a legacy 340.x
NVIDIA driver is required (390.x is also pre-built). This kernel uses the Broadcom WL
WiFi driver for 802.11n adapters, which do not work with free drivers.
Linux 5.10 kernel built with intel-nvme-remap patch from EndlessOS to get access to
NVMe SSDs on 6th-10th gen Intel Core i3/i5/i7 platforms with "Intel RST Premium With
Optane" option enabled in UEFI Setup.
