This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Literally happened to me two days ago. Everything was fine until i installed gpu drivers and then it said "plz give secure boot password" and i had to abort mid install. Also was infront of a fresh linux recruit.

That secure boot password was probably from akmods preparing its key so that it can sign the kernel module of the driver. This key needs to be loaded into the UEFI to use the driver with secure boot enabled. It shouldn't affect the bit locker key in theory, but you never know...
