Hey there! I tried setting up Elementary OS on a spare HDD, updated it, added OBS and other apps, but I’m stuck on installing Nvidia drivers. I checked the internet for help, but it’s still not working. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Visit this site. Choose your GPU and then pick the operating system, selecting Linux 64 bit.

I attempted that. However, after downloading, it refused to execute.

It's an Ubuntu variant, so additional drivers should be accessible via the PPA list. You must execute this command in the terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt-get update --- Installing nVidia's drivers manually often caused a black screen upon restart; I've attempted it on Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mint Cinnamon (Edited November 5, 2016) by zMeul

I haven't installed that specific version of Linux yet, but you need to do it via the terminal. It's been a while since I've done this, so I might be mistaken, but you should be able to simply double-click the downloaded file. After that, I'm not very helpful. You might want to try the command dpkg in the terminal.
