Hello,

It seems that gnome-software has DKMS support that would allow the user
to easily enroll DKMS generated keys in the shim bootloader to be able
to install DKMS built drivers while keeping secureboot enabled.

Can you please have a look at enabling that?

Kind regards
Laurent Bigonville

Feel free to work on this. I don't currently use dkms so it would take
me more work to figure out how to test this feature.

In my research, I saw that Fedora enables this feature, but most other
distros don't.

My initial thinking is to put the extra files in gnome-software-plugin-deb.

Thank you,
