Good luck with that. They purposely removed the Nvidia 390 driver during the previous Ubuntu (23.10) cycle: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/2035189/

I've tried packaging 390 for Noble, but it seems broken. The package installs correctly and builds the kernel modules, but XServer won't start. Another person also has a PPA with 390 noble package that does the same thing
