As an out-of-tree kernel module, does it comply with the lockdown/Secure
Boot requires, where root does not have full permissions?  It's possible
that the nvidia-kmod-open upstream developers are not prepared to fix
Secure Boot bypasses.

Personally, I think teaching people how to disable Secure Boot is a
workable approach because it's not hard to get bypasses anyway (either
with an official signature from Microsoft, or a boot chain from an OS
that allows running arbitrary code in ring 0).

Thanks,
Florian
