I had a much older nvidia card and just had to install the older drivers.
It was with OpenSUSE which has a repo maintained by NVidia directly, and they had generation drivers G03 , G04, G05 etc.
But I did find that while distro hopping that no all linuxes are equal for hardware support.
I had a laptop with a bios bug that would kill Debian based installs, but work fine with fedora or opensuse, and also fine with nixOS. Those distros acknowledge the bug and did a work around.
So if you have interest again, its worth shopping around sometimes.
PC or laptop? And what video card?
PC, ASRock Z370 Taichi mb with NVidia GTX 1080TI card and 32GB RAM.
Last time I tried install disastrously Lemmy Linux wizards told me that card isnt supported for some reason 🤷
