Ubuntu 20.04: nvidia-xconfig black screem on boot

Running nvidia-xconfig to let nvidia create a custom xorg.conf file breaks booting making the screen go black after the kubuntu log it and I can only recover it by deleting the configuration file.

Is there any way I could properly generate the file?

The generated xorg.conf file looks like this:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 470.86

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
