    What’s the output of nvidia-smi? If it’s a newer laptop you might need to add a machine owner key so that secureboot will allow the required dynamic kernel modules to load. In debian the module will be signed with the dkms signing key, adding it as a MOK is fairly simple. https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#Making_DKMS_modules_signing_by_DKMS_signing_key_usable_with_the_secure_boot

    *Try disabling secureboot first, if things start working re-enable it and follow the advice above.

      While it’s great that your helping them …

      This answer is exactly WHY Linux isn’t desktop/gamer ready yet. At least for the masses.

        This answer makes me think back to when I started using Linux and I posted on IRC that my wifi wasn’t working. Somebody then gave me source code and a makefile and walked me through recompiling the drivers and installing them and it worked.

        Linux users online can be the most helpful people around.
