  1. Prepare a Bootable USB Drive: First, you need to create a bootable USB drive with an operating system that you can boot into without needing GPU drivers. Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora are good options since they often come with open-source GPU drivers pre-installed.

  2. Boot into the Live Environment: Insert the bootable USB drive into your computer and boot from it. Most distributions give you the option to "Try Ubuntu" or similar, which allows you to use the operating system without installing it.

  3. Access the Terminal: Once you're in the live environment, open the terminal. You can usually do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or finding the terminal application in the applications menu.

  4. Identify Your GPU: Run the following command to identify your GPU:

    css
    lspci -nn | grep -i vga

    This command will list the connected GPUs. Note down the model of your GPU.

  5. Download the Driver: Visit the official website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the appropriate GPU driver for your model. Make sure to choose the version that is compatible with your operating system.

  6. Transfer the Driver to Your System: If you have another device available, transfer the downloaded driver to a USB drive or any other storage media that you can connect to your system.

  7. Install the Driver: Use the terminal to navigate to the directory where you saved the driver installer. Run the installer following the manufacturer's instructions. For NVIDIA, the command might look like this:

    arduino
    sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-<version>.run sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-<version>.run

    Replace <version> with the version number of the driver you downloaded.

  8. Reboot Your System: After the installation is complete, reboot your system. Hopefully, the GPU drivers are now installed and your display should work properly.

  9. Troubleshoot: If you still don't have display output, try booting into a lower graphics mode or troubleshooting any error messages you encounter during the driver installation.

Keep in mind that this process may vary depending on your specific hardware and the Linux distribution you're using. It's always a good idea to consult the documentation or forums for your specific distribution for any additional steps or tips.
