Trying to install rtx 3070 driver
I faced many issues with my laptop and spent around 3 days,
I have alienware m15 R4 with rtx 3070 laptop edition.
The first problem i was unable to boot so that i added nomodeset in grub configuration.
Now i'm able to login. and tried to install rtx 3070 driver from this link or even from the software updater but this causes to nothing open at normal boot neither recovery mode and it keeps a black blank screen with no options even a restart this means ALT+CTRL+del not working also and nothing can be opened so i need to force power off my laptop.
What is the correct way to install this driver ?
Note that now ubuntu is detecting the graphic card as llvmpipe (LLVM 10.0.0, 256 bits) instead of rtx 3070 another note the secure boot is off

the official way to install proprietary drivers in ubuntu linux:
- Open "Software & Drivers" (Press Win key and enter "drivers" in search bar)
- Open Tab "Additional Drivers"
- check "Using NVIDIA drivers [...]"
- hit "Apply Changes"
- you are now kindly asked to reboot. do so.
if u are more experienced: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall will install latest recommended drivers for your system from ubuntu repositrory (:
