I would be very grateful if someone could advise? I have struggled for many-a-day trying to figure out how to correctly install drivers for Nvidia on Kali Linux. I followed the guide on Kali site only to discover that it apparently does not work? I am getting mixed information from all over the place and have made no progress. I am using desktop with 1080ti. Please see build and info below:
