Experimenting with bleeding edge drivers via graphics-drivers PPA
Dual-GPU laptop,
Ubuntu Budgie w/ nvidia-driver-418 freezes the screen after about 15 seconds of logging, except for the mouse, so I tried nvidia-410 and 415 and it only sometimes loads.
nvidia-settings throws the error ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
but loads with partial screen
