Drivers not loaded on Linux mint - Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 GTX1650

[VulkanGuy]

Linux Mint Nvidia Driver loads with startx but not on initial startup

The driver loads too late, please try embedding it into the initrd, i.e. add the lines nvidia nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and run sudo update-initramfs -u

You might want to try this and disabling secure boot from BIOS if you haven’t already.
