I have uploaded Xorg. It is recommended to install the nvidia-driver package. It is a binary-only driver requiring a Linux kernel module for its use. Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian Unstable "Sid" : Version Supports Vulkan 1.
Version No Vulkan support, supports up to OpenGL 3. Use of the series driver is strongly discouraged. It is not included in stable releases of Debian anymore, has serious unfixable security vulnerabilities, and may not be updated for new kernels in a timely manner. You are highly recommended to use the built-in Nouveau driver if security is a priority. Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 12 "Bookworm" : Version Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 11 "Bullseye" : Version Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 10 "Buster" : Version Note that Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 9 "Stretch" : Version Only supports OpenGL 2.
For a typical bit system using the default kernel, you can simply run: apt install linux-headers-amd64 For bit systems with the non-PAE kernel, you'd instead install: apt install linux-headers Or, for bit systems with the PAE kernel: apt install linux-headerspae If you're using the kernel from Debian Backports , you must run the same command but with the -t flag followed by the name of your backports source.
For instance, if you're using backports on a bit Debian 10 system, you might run: apt install -t buster-backports linux-headers-amd64 Kernel In some cases, if you're aiming to install the bleeding-edge version of the NVIDIA driver from Debian Backports, you may also need to install the kernel from backports to match it.
For Debian 10, you might do this with: apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64 Exchange "buster-backports" with your own version's backports repository as necessary. Installation Debian Unstable "Sid" Version For older devices, see Version legacy GPUs.
Restart your system to load the new driver. Debian 12 "Bookworm" Version Debian 11 "Bullseye" Version Debian 10 "Buster" Version Reboot your system to load the updated driver. After, create an Xorg server configuration file and then restart your system to enable the nouveau blacklist.

Normally, updating the video drivers solves many issues. Note that Fan Control and any other Nvidia features that are not found on the nvidia-settings app, are not Ubuntu related, but Nvidia related. I would recommend, asking the Nvidia developers in the official Nvidia forum about features you may want to include Fan Control, Overclocking features, etc If the video card appeared less than 6 months AFTER the release of the Ubuntu version you are using and you kept that Ubuntu version updated, then you have a pretty good chance it will be supported.
