Hi, Vinko, just in case you're using a 5.9+ kernel, maybe this could be related: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-driver-not-yet-supported-for-linux-kernel-5-9/157263 More info there: https://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-45528-is-incompatible-with-linux-59/ It's a long shot, but better safe than sorry. Best regards.
