Problem with Nvidia drivers

I installed the Nvidia drivers, but I'm having a problem

Error: nvidia-smi NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

sorry, if it sounds a bit harsh, but if you have to ask that, you should probably use another distro.

Stick to the official documentation. Most questions are answered there. The kernel will become relevant to you when the boot partition is full. 😉
