Nvidia 535 IS the Nvidia driver. See the driver manager. Same name. ... The names in Driver Mgr and Update Mgr are the same. "Nvidia 535" is not the name. That is a nickname. The package names are very different as one can see in the screenshots you posted. But Update manager wants to ins...

If English is not your native language and you need help with the images you just posted, let us know.

not sure if im supposed to close it and do something else or keep it open

Do you have any timeshift snapshots from when the system was working properly to which you can revert?

So, tell me then, how do I install 535 as a regular (non-flatpak) driver? I used to be able to. Now it just installs driver as flatpak. What is it ? Update Manager does not install drivers. Update Manager only updates packages (which may include drivers) that you have already installed. If you want...

Dumb question, why doesn't apt-get update the kernel? From what I read it is supposed to, but I just ran a sudo apt-get update -y and then sudo apt-get upgrade but: ~$ uname -r 5.15.0-94-generic Is this because the kernel updates are being held back or something? I just don't get why Update Manager...

I don't know if an Edge installation would benefit me for this reason alone, because I already have a 6.5 kernel I just wanted you to test the live session to see if the AMD drivers loaded to try and rule out what might be a cause of that problem.
