Disable secure boot, then run "uname -a" and if it shows multi-user.target, set it with sudo systemctl. This suggests a graphics driver problem. To fix NVIDIA drivers, install them using sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target. If everything works, the issue might be with GDM. For your setup, you can use xrandr scripts on startup to fix monitor orientation. Since you're using KDE, consider configuring GDM to run those scripts. I'm assuming you're on GNOME, so you could adjust GDM to handle xrandr configurations. You might also try arandr to create the necessary sh scripts for easier setup.
I'm having trouble enabling Secureboot with Windows 11... I've already tried that and it didn't work. I set up Windows 11 in UEFI mode, but since I don't use Gnome, I'm sticking with KDE Plasma (the same one I used in ParrotOS). It feels more like a dualboot setup over Grub.
It’s not a big issue when you turn it off. Windows 11 functions without secure boot enabled. Since it’s off, Ubuntu can’t load NVIDIA drivers and falls back to new drivers, which isn’t ideal. You can verify this by running "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga." If it doesn’t show up, you’ll need to sign your NVIDIA drivers and add the extra keys for secure boot. In short, you’ll just switch between secure boot states each time you reboot.
I still manage to run the basic drives for Ubuntu, and I’m glad I can use it with just one monitor now. Usually I install it through the Update Center where you can add repositories and similar features. I’m just verifying the stable ones that have worked well over the past few years. It functioned fine for me recently, though for ParrotOS I installed them via Terminal and downloaded packages from NVIDIA. I still dislike the Xserver, especially when it first came out—I had to reinstall Linux five times before the driver would install properly. Now I’m getting used to using the Terminal in Linux, which is something I’ve been doing for about five years now.
