JetBrains Toolbox is the official manager for installing and updating IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, CLion, and others.
It makes life a lot easier — but installation can be confusing the first time.
For example, I used to download the .tar.gz, extract it into Downloads, run it, and later delete the folder — which, of course, broke everything because the app could no longer find its binary.

Here’s a simple and direct guide to properly install Toolbox on Linux Mint (and it works the same for Ubuntu/Debian in general).

So, I was trying to install Battlefield 2042 and found out that the latest update requires Secure Boot to be enabled.
No big deal — I use dual boot (Zorin OS for work, Windows 10 for gaming), so I jumped into my X99 Qiyida D4 BIOS and enabled Secure Boot.

The result?
Linux completely refused to boot and instead displayed this lovely message:

“Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot policy in Setup”

Great. Here we go again...
