    The secure boot will block unauthorized kernel modules to load. To install the proprietary driver, you need to turn off the secure boot during the installation. This is what your screenshot is talking about. Regarding how to walk through the whole process, please follow the steps in this Ubuntu wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/DKMS (in your case, the term DKMS mentioned in the wiki page is equivalent to your wifi driver.)

    In the meantime, you may need the command ubuntu-drivers to help you to select the driver you need automatically and install it for you, e.g. sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall.
