Well, whenever I feel ambitious enough to try setting everything up again from scratch to upgrade to Debian 12, maybe I will try a container instead. Until then, a VM works just fine for me.
How do I go about installing a specific driver? As I mentioned, the 525 driver installs by default when I install the nvidia-driver package.
Also, I neglected to post the results of vainfo. That command does not appear to exist on my server.
I just tried purging and reinstalling the nvidia driver again and for some reason this time it appears to have installed the 470 driver. However, it says that dependency problems prevent configuration of the nvidia-driver package. When I attempt to sudo apt --fix-broken install it is unable to fix them:
Maybe it would be easier to simply reinstall the OS (and upgrade to Debian 12) and set my server back up from scratch?
