Should I be trying a Cuda 11xx?

My most recent error

I am "clean" of anything nvidia I believe

yck33@nyck33-IdeaPad-Gaming-3-15ACH6:~/Downloads$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia

My previous tries were instructions from here for .deb local and the .run versions https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Ubuntu&target_version=22.04&target_type=runfile_local

nyck33@nyck33-IdeaPad-Gaming-3-15ACH6:~/Downloads$ nvcc --version
Command 'nvcc' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

I read this for the preinstallation steps: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html

I have no clue what to try next.
One other thing that happened is that the Displaylink Driver I installed along with dkms and one other package to get my second monitor working turned off, ie. the second monitor is no longer recognized nor receiving any power while I tried different ways to install nvidia drivers and cuda.

Edit: Disable nouveau: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-blacklist-nouveau-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish-linux For 20.04: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-22-04

Those are confusing because the tutorial for 22.04 sounds like I disable nouveau first then install an Nvidia driver but for 20.04 install Nvidia first and then blacklist nouveau so which way is it?

I'm also seeing

Why doesn't the command with -e show my Nvidia graphics card like in that link?

I also tried the GUI way to install a driver and get the strangest output

Note: There are comments related to my original question but I thought I would add how I got it installed because it's not exactly how other answers show how to do it on my Lenovo Gaming Laptop with GEFORCE GTX 1650 (Max-Q laptop version)

Choose this driver:

driver

at this point command nvidia-smi should work.

Download Cuda 12.1 run version from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

Note: if you previously tried to install and try to install again following instructions on that page and get "it is encouraged that you delete/remove...", I actually just said continue rather than abort and it then asks you whether you want to update the installation which I said yes to. Also don't forget to uncheck the driver using space bar since step 1 above you already have an Nvidia driver.

I did not bother with libcudnn and other stuff beforehands just to keep it simple and now when I do nvcc --version get

NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver Copyright (c) 2005-2023 NVIDIA

Answer moved here from OP's edit.
