Cost me a few hours and ended up just disabling secure boot in the end. Wish I didn't need MS for some programs.

Can't you run them in a VM?

I did try that years ago, ran into performance issues and other bugs, and it wasn't worth messing around with when dual booting is so simple. Might reconsider in the future if MS keeps messing up though.

I think somebody posted a guide about passing GPU function from the host to a guest VM (for example) with vfio, so it's certainly possible to get a more bare-metal experience!
