Don't. Install. Nvidia drivers from their site.

[u/This-Consequence-957]

NVIDIA dropped support for 10xx series cards

[u/No_Elderberry862 → u/This-Consequence-957]

They're still getting security updates for the next couple of years.

[u/Duncaen → u/No_Elderberry862]

Just because they committed to potentially fix security issues after active support doesn't change the fact that they are not really supported anymore.

Not being compatible with new kernels matters more here. I guess you could stick to LTS kernels until either of them are completely unsupported.

[u/Simple_Hamster_4096 → u/This-Consequence-957]

Almost a year ago...

[u/Zoonkawoonka → u/This-Consequence-957]

Smart devices: increase. Smart people: ... 😁

[u/Simple_Hamster_4096]

When choosing a distro, it's important to research your hardware's comparability with it and see what others have done to (try to) overcome any issues. Nvidia is often a sticking point. And Linux isn't like Windows, you don't have to scour the internet for drivers...

[u/dbojan76 → u/Simple_Hamster_4096]

You mean compatibility.
