I'm semi convinced the downloads don't work right if you use the GUI distros like Mint provide for Nvidia drivers

My 2080ti had multiple issues until I installed a different version (same issues) and then RE-installrd the original drivers manually

When I updated later: same exact series of events went down except I was able to get it to install on the third try from GUI properly because I wanted to see how many tries it might take for the lulz

I think it's older cards and some sort of glitch in the proprietary driver manager shit most people use by default
