[How To] install Nvidia Drivers from vetted sources

[Michel]

@Michel

After the kiska ppa is installed run in the terminal the following commands:

sudo -i

sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/kisak-pin-2000`

and add these lines in the kisak-pin-2000 file

Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-kisak-kisak-mesa
Pin-Priority: 2000

I also managed to do this with the nvidia drivers, i installed the 570 driver from the ubuntu repo but pop os wanted to force to use their driver instead. On the internet it states Pin-Priority: 1000. This did not work for me so i did some digging in my files. Pop! OS uses Pin-Priority: 1001 ... so i changed the ubuntu repo to 1999 (any number above 1001 will do)

sudo -i

gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/priority-nvidia

Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-graphics-drivers
Pin-Priority: 1999
