Black Screen on boot = display output freezing with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 driver nvidia, 460.73.01, 5.4.0-73-lowlatency on Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa

BIG MISTAKE PF MINE: purchase a kind of gamer’s laptop.
Paying for long for the consequences,… Something crazy.

  1. Laptop doesn’t hibernate: qell it does, but it gets frozen, and there is no way to awake it, but restart the computer.

  2. No way to detect a second monitor/screen and use both, nor share the image in two screens. So because of that I can’t use this laptop at the classroom with my students, becuase it can’t project images using projector.

  3. Cinnamon’s Applet which normally allowdetecting and sharing 2 creens: defunct.
