Having used high-end GPU's since 2003 on Windows, then UNIX, then Linux...
Learn to rescue and reinstall you nVidia drivers, enough that it becomes second nature. Meaning, set your Grub2 menu so that you force it to display at least 1-2 seconds.
The reasons for this is that sometimes Linux kernel updates will boink your video driver, even with nvidia-dkms. It's much less often than it used to be, but still happens occasionally. Life happens when you don't plan for it. (-- John Lennon)
The easiest thing to do is to add 'nomodeset' to the kernel boot line, so that you can boot and reinstall your drivers... Or go to rescue boot mode, enable networking, drop to a root prompt and do
Code:
apt remove nvidia-*
Then boot with 'nomodeset'... Then reinstall the driver.
Should you reset your DPi for your mouse settings? Yes. If it doesn't work to your satisfactions, you could always later do
Code:
sudo apt remove --purge ratbagd piper
remove it, and be back to where you are now.
I think you mis-understood, both AMD, Intel and nVidia work well with Linux. They do not play well yet with the Wayland graphics engine... Things are getting better, and they are trying to tweak it for gaming... Just not there yet. Intel and AMD have opened their drivers up to opensource and are included in the Linux Kernel. nVidia has been closed source / proprietary until very recently (within the past few weeks), where they just released their drivers as opensource for Linux Kernel 6.4. So I do not foresee that hitting Ubuntu until the HWE stack of 24.04 LTS.
