  • Stop using the GUI to install nVidia drivers (it does things “automatically”)

  • Print this page so you have it as a reference while in TTY2

  • Log off

  • Switch to TTY2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2

  • Log in there

  • remove everything (and why you’re in a TTY) with:

    sudo mhwd --remove pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-440xx-prime 
sudo mhwd --remove pci video-linux

  • Install everything again:

    sudo mhwd --install pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-440xx-prime 
sudo mhwd --install pci video-linux
sudo reboot

Now it shouldn’t auto-update any more
