📖Nvidia Drivers

Use at your own discretion

There are many cases reported that devices with Nvidia cards have different issues from strange colored screens, distorted screens to blank screens at all.

Examples of the Screen Issues

This is a common Nvidia driver issue, still the following way of Nvidia driver installation via the Terminal may help (try to boot into recovery mode if the screen color makes it impossible).

1. If you have never added a PPA on your system, you might need to run this first:

sudo apt install -y software-properties-common

1. Add the Nvidia drivers' repository, get all updates and upgrade the distro.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

1. Check the repository for the latest driver:

sudo apt search nvidia-driver

1. Run the following:

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

1. Install the latest driver found (535 is the latest at the moment of writing the guide):

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535

1. Reboot.

Sometimes kernel updates can cause problems. If this is your case, boot in recovery mode, and repeat the following commands

sudo su

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

and reboot.

Thanks this Reddit post for the method.
