This is guide howto install NVIDIA proprietary Linux drivers (manually using .run files) and disable Nouveau driver on Linux Mint 22. Linux Kernels 6.8+ are tested.
Currently working NVIDIA drivers are:
610.xx (610.57.04) NFB
595.xx (595.91.07)
580.xx (580.173.02)
This guide works with NVIDIA GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10/20/30/40 series cards.
This method allow you easily install / test / use different versions of NVIDIA drivers, you can test BETA drivers and switch back to stable.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon works very smoothly with latest NVIDIA 610.xx / 595.xx / 580.xx drivers.
I have tested this guide with NVIDIA 610.xx, 595.xx, 580.xx, drivers/cards on latest Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon and Linux kernel 6.8. Here I use 560.35.03 NFB version of NVIDIA drivers installer, you can always select latest stable version, beta or some other version.
