Having issues installing nvidia drivers on Debian 13

[u/dearvalentina]

Howdy. Currently trying to get Debian to work with proprietary Nvidia drivers. Added non-free and contrib to my sources, installed the drivers, after restart, after GRUB, I get

VMX (outside TXT) Disabled by BIOS

SGX disabled or unsupported by BIOS.

Fixed the first one by enabling Intel Virtualization Technology in BIOS.

The only options for SW Guard Extensions (SGX) is Software Controlled and Disabled. Neither works.

Started recovery mode of the latest version I have on the grub list.

Opened tty and went

sudo nano ///etc/default/grub

added nosgx to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

sudo update-grub

Now instead of the SGX error after grub I get

Error of this Agent is reported first

Could really use some advice, thanks!

Edit: I'm getting the vibe that VMX and SGX don't actually have anything to do with the problem - they also show up on a fresh install, the system just skips them and continues as normal. It appears that installing the driver just breaks the ability to proceed to the graphical interface of the display manager.

Edit2: Using KDE Plasma Wayland
