I ran a history | grep 'gcc' → which outputted sudo apt install gcc-8. Maybe when I ran this command I broke the build system? Whats the fix for that?
Looks fine. Please try purging and installing the kernel headers instead of reinstalling them.
OK, @generix I did the following, still cannot modprobe nivida…

Update. I uninstalled nvidia, purged and reinstalled my headers, and rebooted my pc. I just ran an install of the 520 driver, and now I get this with modprobe:
sudo modprobe nvidia
[sudo] password for cboin:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
This is a different error from before. @generix, what do you think? Also do you have patreon? You contribute quite a bit to the community, I wanted to donate.
OKOKOKOKO I got it working.
Thank you so much for your help @generix.
Heres what I did, line by line.
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-generic
Next,
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo apt remove --purge '^libnvidia-.*'

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt clean -y && sudo apt autoclean -y
Rebooted.
Installed nvidia-driver-520 from the additional drivers tab of ubuntu.

Works! Once again, if you have patreon I would be happy to donate.

@christianboin this post was a lifesaver. I too was able to get it working again after following your outline. It appears that the Ubuntu 20.04 install seems to pick the 520 open-kernel meta package, which does not work for me. The plain 520 meta package does work. Thanks for this detailed post!
