- Due to FS#74886/FS#74891, nvidia doesn’t boot on Linux 5.18 on systems with Intel CPUs. Until this is fixed, a workaround is disabling the Indirect Branch Tracking CPU security feature by setting the
ibt=offkernel parameter from the bootloader. This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution
