How is the user experience for installing these kernel modules today,
anyway? Does it need specialized knowledge to turn of Secure Boot in
the firmware?
If yes, this means that those users are pretty advanced and are likely
able to deal with boot-related problems.
I think you just click the big blue Install button in GNOME Software.
Why would the kernel modules be shown in Gnome Software? That goes
against all that I've heard about it. All the low level things like
libraries and non-graphical programs are not shown. And that still
doesn't solve the signing issue. Gnome Software can't turn off secure
boot for you, so those kernel modules you've installed will not load.
Installing third party kernel modules are a command line operation and
if you have secure boot, will require other manual intervention as well.
