Most of the good NVIDIA drivers are available through the system itself and as of 19.10 they are included to the ISO so they are not downloaded separately. You can create some USB with the default version of your system if you have Ubuntu preinstalled or just make a Snapshot with Timeshift to reinstall and go back to the previous state, just backup your personal data somewhere else (Deja Dup) because it is not a good idea to include home folders to a snapshot.Īs for Mesa drivers, the article you shared is quite outdated. If you can consider upgrading to 20.04 I would probably recommend it, but make a backup of all your data in case you encounter any problems so you can roll back. However, migrating to 20.04 with kernel 5.40 and NVIDIA driver 440 works better than ever, even the small bug in Firefox is gone. Some problems occurred at login and with HDMI sound, so I wouldn't recommend it. I tried to upgrade to 19.10 having the new kernel versions and it didn't work well with any of the available drivers: 430, 435, 440 and nouveau. You can have another kernel version in 18.04 if you use Hardware Enablement Stack (you can read more in the official wiki). One bug was that there was a crash when maximizing and then minimizing videos in Firefox. In my case, for kernel 4.15 the NVIDIA 430 proprietary driver worked fine. I think it depends on the kernel version you use.
I have a GTX1650 which is not the same, but close enough and from the same family.
