I have a desktop running a Geforce GT 1030 and I'm trying to make Ubuntu work on it.

To install, I had to edit the grub launcher to add nomodeset , after which the installation concluded smoothly. However, I still have to add nomodeset every time during boot to get it to work.

I tried purging nvidia drivers and installing the most recent version (384, I think) and it only made things worse (got stuck during boot and adding nomodeset changed nothing). So I formatted and did a clean install.

What to do to make this work?

Extra info: The monitor is plugged to the mobo, not to the card.
