Just got an ASUS - TUF DASH 15.6 with the 3060. Installed the latest Linux Mint (20.x). Wanted the proper video drivers so I went about installing them. That and the desktop reminds you every time you log in that you are not using hardware acceleration.
First used the “Driver Manager” app. After rebooting though, I still got a message that hardware acceleration was not being used. Tried a game, and verified that the gpu isn’t being used (it was dog slow). I also noticed the “Driver Manager” app was installing a slightly older version, I believe it was 460.35.
After noticing the latest release, 460.56 has a fix for the 3060 I manually installed that. On reboot, X would not start. I figured I didn’t clean up correctly from the first install.
I then reinstalled Mint, then immediately installed 460.56. Still X would not start. Took a look at the logs and found this:
