I’ve had a bastard of a time with Nvidia drivers in the past few weeks, though I’m honest enough to accept that a big chunk of that could well be a combination of user error, and that I have a fairly old 1060 GPU.
I made the mistake of updating to Kubuntu 26.05, and that was that. Dunno how, dunno why, but I could not load into a desktop. Tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers and reinstalling, but nope.
Ended up wiping it and starting again with Arch, and even that wasn’t particularly plain sailing. Had to roll back to an earlier driver.
I’m happy to accept that it’s probably user error, but man, they don’t make it easy.

I’ve got a really old one, a 1060 or 1070 I forgot. Zero issues

It’s the 1060. They still work, I’ve got one in my server, but I couldn’t get mine to run with recent drivers.
