For me it sounds like more like a PR move. It sounds like they just want people to adopt Oracle Linux because now it’s the good thing and when they’ll have the chance they’ll do the same thing. Not necessarily exactly what Red Hat (and IBM) did but something that won’t benefit the community but them. But maybe this is just my superstition or something and it won’t come to this. I hope it won’t come to this but I doubt it

They give extended support after a Ubuntu version is EOL if you’re a subscriber. By the way there’s a free version of the subscription for personal use up to 5 devices I think, maybe more maybe less.

I was using the ubuntu-drivers utility that this page mentions too but it turns out it isn’t working very much. Now I installed with the manual method from this page using apt install linux-modules-nvidia-${DRIVER_BRANCH}${SERVER}-${LINUX_FLAVOUR} and it’s working. Thank you for the suggestion!

Shows up in lspci. Booting a live OS would be a little bit tricky because it’s in a wall mounted rack but I will try that if nothing else works. Thank you.
