KDE Linux/Use a pre-Turing (older than GTX 1630) NVIDIA GPU

From KDE Community Wiki

These GPUs are limited to the Nouveau graphics drivers, which are pre-installed. However they must be manually enabled. Here's how to do so:

  1. Power on/reboot the system
  2. Mash the spacebar to make the boot menu appear
  3. On the boot menu, press the "e" key
  4. Type "nomodeset " (yes, include the trailing space)
  5. Press the "Enter" key
  6. Log in, now in low graphics mode
  7. Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf with this content:
    install nouveau
    blacklist nvidia
    
  8. Now reboot again
