I asked how I can install my nvidia card and got forwarded to How do I install the Nvidia drivers?.
So I did the basic commands (ppa, update...) , but nothing seemed to happen. I read the tutorial couple of times, for being a very basic user I dont understand it and I m afraid of making it worse.
$ apt search nvidia - | egrep "^nvidia-[0-9]+\/"
gave out

lspci
