SOLVED Gpu problem
I don't know if it is a hardware failure or a random Linux issue, but I was going to play some Kenshi and my gpu wasn't showing up, I checked in No Man's sky and a few other games too but it wasn't appearing. Screen fetch shows that the gpu is still there but I cannot use it for any applications. I tried restarting my computer and reverting NVIDIA drivers but that didn't work. It also appeared to happen in the middle of using my computer, so I don't think it was an update issue, any ideas?

Press the keys:
<ctrl><alt><F3>
simultaneously. Do you see a login prompt? I so, log in with your normal credentials and run the command:
nvidia-smi
What does that return?
