NVidia GeForce RTX 5060 not recognised as GPU on Zorin OS 17.3

I vote this :backhand_index_pointing_up:


I vote for upgrading the kernel for testing before you leave Zorin. It is done in 10 minutes.

If you stop to sip coffee, stare out the window and watch a squirrel and glance at your watch several times.

Install a newer Kernel is the most directly Way before doing something else. If You might be afraid that Your system could be broke, save Your Data before doing and then start.

just change to

I re-installed Zorin 18, by removing the Zorin 17 OS, but the problem still persists that my graphics card is not recognized. I have installed the latest packages, but the kernel is still version 6.14 something.

I still have to do the steps described here.

I shall also try improving the kernel, as described by @Forpli and the linked guide around the Christmas days. I shall then also install Zorin on my laptop and see if I can start switching towards Linux.

In Zorin 18, are there still others steps to do check for errors with the NVidia not being recognized as a video card? In case you need information about my system once again, let me know.

Switching to Xorg would be a good Idea when using an Nvidia Card.
