Sorry if this sounds like retard question on linux system

I installed nvidia driver on my laptop (720M) and it showed black screen after reboot, BUT if I enter my password and hit enter the screen goes back to normal on desktop, it just didn’t show anything on the first lock screen

I’ve followed linux mint nvidia driver instructions, removing the package re installing, etc.

P.S. All of the question I found on the internet seems to be total black screen after installing the driver, whereas mine could work after I entered my password

question

nvidia

linux mint

    I once had this behaviour one an Ubuntu. Maybe a stupid question, but what does mint use below the hood? If I remember it correctly, Mint is based on Ubuntu, which for some time used Wayland, which (if I remember it correctly) fucked the Nvidia drivers pretty good...)
