Hello,

If your user description is correct and you have Nvidia GT 750M 1GB Mac Edition (2013 iMac), then there will be nothing that will automatically work.

And AFAIK you need the video-nvidia-390xx once you installed it from live media using the free drivers first, but according to this

[Stable Update] 2022-01-02 - Kernels, Systemd, KDE Frameworks, Mesa, Xorg-Server, Wine, Python 3.10

Nvidia 340xx driver series no longer works.

This driver is end of life by NVIDIA, you should not be using it as there are serious security issues with this driver. You have to either get newer supported hardware or switch to Nouveau:
#remove old
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-340xx
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
#install new nouveau
sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux

Reboot after and you're done.

you actually have to stick to nouveau, free drivers, or try the video-nvidia-470xx, but i doubt will work.
