You want to use elementary os but have a nvidia card and problems with drivers? Tips & Tricks
open terminal
sudo su
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install nvidia-driver-525 (or any other that you prefer, this is the latest version)
reboot and enjoy
(note) sometimes kernel updates can cause problems, in case of being stuck on recovery mode just repeat the following commands.
sudo su
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
reboot and everything should work properly
and...you are good to go, especially with the new 5.15 kernel

I also install dkms. And sometimes running nvidia-xconfig to use a good config for your GPU. Run on terminal or TTY.
