I have a GeForce 210 GPU on an EndeavourOS computer. I use Noveau drivers, but some apps like Blender have a broken user interface, and KDE acts weird sometimes. I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers following the Archlinux wiki, but I did not have any display output at all. I also tried running the NVIDIA driver .run file, but it warned me about changing drivers, and I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think that I understand the steps in the wiki. I would also like to use Wayland on my computer.
This may not be relevant since I have a different gpu and am on Ubuntu, but when I installed proprietary drivers I didn’t have display either because I was using a version of the driver that was too recent (whether due to dropped compatibility or a bug I don’t know). An older one might work!
On ubuntu you can use the “apt-mark hold” command to keep certain packages from updating.
Eg: sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-kernel-common-470-server
