Following the article at this point I get:
- Code:
# add-apt-repository contrib non-free-firmware
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/add-apt-repository", line 361, in <module>
addaptrepo = AddAptRepository()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/bin/add-apt-repository", line 39, in __init__
self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 89, in get_sources
raise NoDistroTemplateException(
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Debian/PCLinuxOS Debian
and I am lost as what to do now

You already have the contrib non-free-firmware so skip to:
apt install linux-headers-amd64
apt install linux-headers-amd64

echo 'deb [trusted=yes] https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian12/x86_64/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-drivers.list
You will still get a warning but you can remove the repo later.

Add this repo if you haven't already?
Reload synaptic
nvidia-installer will be listed in the nvidia repo.

Hope it works for you.

Edit as root and add your username to the /etc/sudoersw3ie wrote:Have to figure out how to get on the sudoers list
Example:
46 # User privilege specification
47 root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
48 w3ie ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

I'll never buy another laptop with an nvidia gpu 
- Code:
$ nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [NVS 4200M] [10de:1056] (rev a1)
Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [NVS 4200M] (rev a1)
Your card is only supported by the 390 legacy drivers series, which is only available up to bullseye.
