So far so good. I did the update then reboot. Then installed the nvidia drivers
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
Then installed the kernel 5.10, as I understand 5.9 is EOL and may not be supported for long. Reboot and no problem…
Edit: take it back, it seems that my computer uses the free drivers for some reason doesn’t pick up the proprietary drivers even though installed. Will see if I open a separate thread.
I also found the following link that may be useful:
