hello, recently i've tried to install zorin os in my pc, i have a 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5, 1tb nvme gen5 and a 5070 ti, and i think my problem is related to this last one, i had no problems installing zorin, but when i tried to install the latest nvidia drivers and rebooted as told when i turned my pc back on it just shows a black screen i tried different methods, nothing worked, it might be a problem related to zorin os itself but the driver said tested, i hope someone has a sugestion, i also tried the nvidia compatibility mode but it is completly broken.
If Secure Boot is enabled in your EFI settings (BIOS) try disabling it. It can and will block Nvidia.
Also see here:
The 5070ti has a bit of notoriety.
Setting 4G encoding helped some.
I will make an additional recommendation not covered in the above:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-590 nvidia-dkms-590
Use DKMS to prevent having to reinstall later.
In order to reach your desktop boot using onboard Intel Graphics (Switch your HDMI or DP cable to a motherboard port instead of the Nvidia port) in order to run commands.
