Public bug reported:

For applications such as OBS 30.1.2 and Blender 4.1 to use CUDA and
NVENC, the Nvidia driver for servers must be installed first, followed
by the normal Nvidia driver, in that order. I believe this to be a bug
because the server driver is lighter than the normal driver and the
driver installation help page https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/nvidia-
drivers-installation can be interpreted as saying the normal Nvidia
driver should be installed first followed by the server driver.

However when this is attempted installing the server driver uninstalls
the normal driver, but the server driver cannot work without the normal
driver unless it is installed again afterwards
