Okay, thank you very much. I will give that a try!
I noticed @Ponce-De-Leon mentioned 550.67 in passing, but make sure you consistently use the same version across deb files (550.163 was the final version of 550, so use that if you can).

No, the .67 is better. It seems the .163 leads to the 580 Driver.

Even in the archive? That's rough.
I have downloaded all the missing dependencies which are mentioned when trying to install nvidia-driver-550.
It is a total of 15 packages including the abovementioned.
It doesn’t mention it as a missing dependency, but I also include libnvidia-common-550_550.67-0ubuntu3.amd64.deb in the installation to be sure.
Before the installation of the packages, I have run sudo apt purge nvidia* libnvidia* and sudo apt autoremove.
When installing all of the 16 packages with dpkg -i, I get this:

It says that libnvidia-compute-550 cannot be installed, because it conflicts with libcuda-10.0-1, which is provided by libnvidia-compute-580:i386.
I thought that all things related to 580 was removed with the apt purge and autoremove commands?
Also it says that nvidia-dkms-550 can’t be configured because dkms is not installed?
Type in Terminal sudo apt install dkms to install it if it shouldn't be installed. When it is already installed, You see it.
Hmm ... maybe it is because it is an i386 Package. You could try it with uninstall it manually with sudo apt purge libnvidia-compute-580:i386
Great, that worked!
That worked as well

I'm still not able to install dkms for some reason.

nvidia-dkms-550 (<= 550.67-1) and nvidia-dkms-550 (>= 550.67),
but I can't find the first one which is missing (<= 550.67-1).
Any clue what to do here?
Maybe a specific Order is neccessary for installing the Packages. You could try to install nvidia-dkms first and then the Rest.
I tried installing nvidia-dkms-550 first, but it needed some dependencies. After installing two of the dependencies, it will continue the installation of dkms:

hmm...
I have another Idea. For that, You need Synaptic. You can install it with sudo apt install synaptic. When installed, open it (You have to type in Your Password; that is normal) and search for nvidia-driver-550 and then You get this:
Click at the left Top on Package and then on - might not be a propper Translation - Force Version:
Then comes a Window where You have a Dropdown Menu. choose there the .67 Driver:

Thank you for the idea. I tried it, but it installs 580 even though I force version 550.67...
It also installs 580 when forcing version 550.163.01.
I made this screen recording to document the issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/127Pa0emPUXXxpLo6I99sDZKq4Zue919F/view?usp=sharing
Before moving onto the harder 550 solutions (using Nvidia's 550 run file), I wanted to ensure that when you said:
you meant that 535 was also slow, and not that the package installation failed through the software updater.
When I swapped to 535 in October, I found that 535 fails to install unless you do it from the terminal at the same time as nvidia-dkms-535.
After purging old drivers:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535 nvidia-dkms-535
Yes, I'm able to install 535.309.01 successfully, but I get the same problems as with 580.
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/
The Nvidia provided run file may be the last shot. I'd recommend including the dkms option on install so kernel updates don't break it.
I was having trouble getting the full quote to copy on my phone, but @Locklear93 goes into it with links for install instructions (click the quote to go to it and see the provided links).
Thank you.
I have followed the instructions you've linked. I have successfully blacklisted the nouveau-driver and executed the run file.
But the installation fails as shown in this image:
Due to the screen reflections, I couldn't capture the whole screen, but this is the error messages that follow:
ERROR: An error occurred while performing the step: “Building kernel modules”. See /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for details
ERROR: An error occurred while performing the step: “Checking to see whether the nvidia kernel module was successfully built”. See /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for details.
ERROR: The nvidia kernel module was not created.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
I have just seen that there is another installation guide in the README file for the 550.67-driver; maybe that will be more thoroughly.
But any suggestions to solutions will be more than welcome!
What version of gcc does Zorin 18 have? It may need gcc-12.
In case it isn't clear, you can use 550.163 if installing from the run files.
gcc version 13.3.0:
user@user-pc:~$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04.1) 13.3.0

In the usr/bin, gcc-12 is also to be found:
Should I use an older one, ex. 12, or is 13 backwards compatible? (if that's even a thing).
I just tried installing 550.163.01, but same problem.
What did the log say?
There may be other dependencies (I found these in a guide for mint, which is also Ununtu based):
apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc make acpid dkms pkg-config libglvnd-core-dev libglvnd0 libglvnd-dev libc-dev xwayland libxcb1 libnvidia-egl-wayland1
It gives a lot of error-messages with "No such file or directory":
nvidia/nv-acpi.c:26:10: fatal error: os-interface.h: No such file or directory
26 | #include "os-interface.h"

The list goes on, so here is the log file, if you're interested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16F5gP5dDjU2qSaCmCVgeKPG6n2inCl5a/view?usp=sharing
Okay, thanks. I will look into that as well.
I have also tried manually installing the run file of the same version as the one installed from the "Additional Drivers" tab (580.159.03), which installs successfully, just to be clear.
