Nvidia card on zorin

Hardware Support
#34

Please run

sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver-460

#35

Well, the issue was resolved even before you answered the question. Since I had a timeshift backup, I took a leap of faith and installed nvidia-driver-460. Now it's working fine and nvidia-smi shows GPU usage.

Haha :slight_smile:

Not needed. It won't startup and I re-re-re-re-reinstalled

#37

It's the same thing that using zorin for everything and ubuntu for gaming.
I think i'll keep this.
Thanks really you guys for the help

#38

if i downgrade the kernel? :sunglasses:

#39

I think the difference between you and @capriciousduck is the vintage of the graphics cards.
@capriciousduck has GeForce 840M which is still supported by NVidia.
You have GeForce 310M which is no longer supported.

That is why I suggested you to try other Debian based distribution which still uses old stable 4,19 kernel.

You have to find our how far you can downgrade.
I do not think it is possible to downgrade to 4 series kernels if you want to use Zorin.

You know that you can easily dual-boot MX and Zorin.
It is way easier than dual-boot Linux with Windows.
Windows think it is the only OS under the Sun and has this tendency to overwrite the boot sector for our headache.

Save your words till you see Windows 11 in real.

I am running it on a 10 years old unsupported laptop out of curiosity and to prove that I can outsmart MS's hardware compatibility check :sunglasses:

I can't use windows 11 cause with my connection it takes 24 hours to download 6 gb.
But if you done this it means that you're smarter than the whole microsoft team

#49

I'll set my own post as a solution.
thank you guys for help!!!!!

I do not see it as a compliment :crazy_face:

Starting from Windows 98, MS has two OS developer teams.

Team A: Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10
Team B: Windows ME, Windows Vista, Windows 8, Windows 11

You see, it is not that hard to outsmart this Team B.
