From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks! This rig hasn't been powered on since last year, that's why π
That card probably also has an insanely old firmware too, but you ought to be able to set a 550 motherboard to bios mode instead of uefi and get past it.
I didn't mention that in the OP but I did try both UEFI and legacy BIOS compatibility mode.
Would've been cool if I had the skills to flash the old card with some new firmware π€£
