System: Linux Mint 20 "Ulyana" - Cinnamon (64-bit), link for details, based on Ubuntu 20.04
As outlined in my answer in How to install the latest Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint 19 / 20, it is also possible to install / list available Nvidia drivers with:
sudo ubuntu-drivers list
which right now returns:
nvidia-driver-440-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-440-server-generic-hwe-20.04)
nvidia-driver-435, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-435-generic-hwe-20.04)
nvidia-driver-418-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-418-server-generic-hwe-20.04)
nvidia-driver-450, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-450-generic-hwe-20.04)
nvidia-driver-390, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-390-generic-hwe-20.04)
nvidia-driver-450-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-450-server-generic-hwe-20.04)
From this list, I do have generic-way installed nvidia-driver-450, but apparently missing the kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-450-generic-hwe-20.04, so my question is rather direct:
What do these additional drives or whatever they are, supposed to be doing, and do I want them?
