install recommended driver

sudo apt install -y $(ubuntu-drivers list --gpgpu --recommended)

see installed version is matching recommened

test "$(nvidia-smi --query-gpu=driver_version --format=csv,noheader)" = "$(apt-cache policy $(ubuntu-drivers list --gpgpu --recommended | awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Installed:' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d '-' -f1)"; echo $?

clear all installed nvidia drivers

sudo apt remove -y --purge nvidia* && sudo apt autoremove -y
