I want to install the Nvidia proprietary driver but I can't figure out which package to install for my GPU, I have a laptop with intel and Nvidia I believe it's Optimus technology or something because that's what I was told by some people on discord.

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 500 (rev 0b)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 16a0
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
03:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce 810M] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 137e
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau

the wiki says to find it On this page but I can't find my GPU there.

EDIT: found my GPU on the legacy list, the laptop is only 2 years old IDK why is it there.

It also lists a couple of other sources and explicitly states

For GeForce 630-900, 10-20, and Quadro/Tesla/Tegra K-series cards and newer [NVE0, NV110 and newer family cards from around 2010 and later], install the nvidia package (for use with the linux kernel) or nvidia-lts (for use with the linux-lts kernel) package.

Edit: your GPU is *also* supported by the 390xx driver.

So I just install the Nvidia Package and proceed following the Optimus wiki page?

Okay thanks for helping me sort this out, Nvidia is really confusing to me.
