Hi, as far as I remember, 495 dropped support for a few generations of 
GPUs.
So if you're using relatively old hardware, you might be stuck 
downgrading to 475(?) or whatever the previous version was.
And a compatible LTS kernel, but if you're on nvidia that's probably 
already what you're doing?
Otherwise, you may want to switch to the open-source driver, as long as 
you don't need AAA gaming, CUDA or vulkan.

Cheers,
Bennett
