The developers of the AlmaLinux distribution have announced the creation of packages with NVIDIA drivers for AlmaLinux versions 9 and 10. Installation packages are also provided for the driver and CUDA stack. The drivers can be used in configurations with UEFI Secure Boot.
Kernel modules from the official proprietary driver set by NVIDIA cannot be loaded in UEFI Secure Boot mode, as they are not signed with the distribution's digital signature. This limitation has been circumvented by using NVIDIA's open kernel modules, which are already the default in the NVIDIA driver set for GPUs starting with the Turing microarchitecture (GeForce GTX 1600 and RTX 2000).
Based on open components from NVIDIA, a custom package nvidia-open-kmod has been created with modules signed with AlmaLinux's digital signature. A separate package, almalinux-release-nvidia-driver, has been prepared with the configuration of the external repository supported by NVIDIA, from which CUDA drivers and proprietary NVIDIA driver components operating in user space are downloaded (repackaging of proprietary NVIDIA components is not allowed under the license agreement).
