How can I blacklist my Nvidia driver from updating?  Now that it seems to be sorted I don't think there would be a real need for any updates... right?

And are we going to have to fill out "system specs" EVERY time we post a thread?

Which GPU? Also, show us a screenshot of Lite Driver Manager once it has searched for drivers.

And are we going to have to fill out "system specs" EVERY time we post a thread?

Yes, because we get sick of asking people for their system specs to help them diagnose an issue. Case in-point: NV106 there are at least  14 nvidia gpu's carrying this core. Providing specs to troubleshoot an issue is a natural part of any technical Forum.

Which GPU? 
Where do I find that?  (Yes, I am that dumb) 

For some reason I can't upload pics.  (Won't allow me to upload png or jpg...)
Here is a link to the screenshot you requested - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/g49kmlb1m...yjn13&dl=0

Ok I get it - just hadn't seen that before.

Bingo! - NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 This is a legacy GPU and therefore must run under the nouveau driver. There is nothing you need to do. Other operating NOT based on Ubuntu 26.04 may support this card, but then you'd be using an older OS, so it's up to you which way you go forward. Read through here - https://wiki.linuxliteos.com/en/hardware to develop an understanding

Re. your image, that is Ubuntu's Software and Updates, that is NOT a part of Linux Lite 8.0 so it had to be introduced by you somehow. Still haven't seen your screenshot of Lite Driver Manager...

I fully support the goal to reduce the massive waste of time on both sides by having to go back and forth only to get mostly common sense information before even being able to start working on an issue.

As the user profile offers to submit/mention this basic information, would it be possible to make the "system specs" submission with a new thread conditional, i.e. only necessary IF they are not mentioned on the profile page? If this is not possible via algorithm (IF section in profile has been filled in, THEN no "system specs" section will be shown when starting a thread), maybe a simple additional, but prominent checkbox at the beginning of the "system specs" section would do, along the lines "My system specs are listed on my profile."?
