I'm on Kubuntu 21.04 with a laptop that has a ryzen 5800H (with integrated gpu) and RTX 3050. I'm pretty new to linux so I'm probably doing something wrong, I need explanations that a 5 year old could follow...
My issue seems to be that my graphics drivers aren't loaded properly.
I installed the latest nvidia driver i could find (nvidia-driver-470) via the apt tool and yet i get this:
$ nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
So driver isn't properly loaded I guess but I can't figure out why (from searching it seems the first thing people ask is if secure boot is disabled. It is, although I'm not clear on why that has an effect here?)
Here is my settings for additional drivers under "Software & updates": [https://imgur.com/ZPVDumy][1]
So that's the nvidia side of things. As for the integrated GPU I ran into the following when updating:

So I guess the integrated amd gpu's driver isn't there either. I tried to look online on how to get these firmware but it seems that they can't be downloaded with APT and i couldn't find anywhere to get them manually.
It's worth mentioning that I had to install kernel 5.13.11-051311-generic
to get ubuntu to even work because it was crashing with kernel 5.11 which it came with (apparently that's a common issue with asus motherboards?)
