OK, I have to give you a huge kudos!!! Thanks you very much for your time, you were amazing!!!
To sum it up for all with the same issue:

  1. Get the latest Kernel. Currently it is 5.10.14

  2. Download all files from this URL
    https://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/gs/
    and copy them to
    /lib/firmware/amdgpu
    Make sure they all have the same owner and permissions like the other files in the same folder.

  3. run
    sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/scripts/module.lds.S -O /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.2-051002-generic/scripts/module.lds
    and then
    sudo sed -i '$ d' /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.2-051002-generic/scripts/module.lds

Make sure you put the correct kernel version instead of “5.10.2-051002”

  1. run
    sudo update-initramfs -u

  2. Add the drivers repo
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

  3. Reboot and install the NVIDIA driver from “System → Preferences → Hardware → Additional Drivers”

  4. Buy a big beer to @generix :-)

@sano1982 That should work for you too.

Thanks
