I recently made the switch to Zorin OS and completely shifted to it. However, I'm having trouble installing my GPU driver because it's not being detected in the updates, probably due to its age. It's an Nvidia GeForce GT 730 DDR3 with 4GB. Can anyone offer some advice on how to proceed? I'd really appreciate any help!

First things first, you should definitely mention what GPU you have. Since yours is an Nvidia, keep in mind that they tend to phase out support for older cards. You might be stuck using Nouveau Drivers, which aren't always the best.
Yes, I agree! You should consider your options since the support for older models is fading.
You should also specify which version of Zorin you're running. It's helpful to know what steps you've tried so far and if you've followed the instructions for driver installation on the Zorin website. That could shed light on your current issue.
Okay. So I just downloaded Zorin 18 Core. I checked for updates and in software & updates, it showed no available drivers. I even tried some commands from ChatGPT to check if my GPU was recognized, and it was. But when I attempted to install the drivers, I hit an error, so I purged everything. Now, I'm stuck again with no drivers available.
Are you prepared for this to be a bit of a challenge? Just a heads up!
