Seems to be because the Nvidia 470 kernel driver does not support your GT 730 GPU:

[ 5.887374] NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 GPU installed in this system is
               NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 390.xx Legacy drivers. Please
               NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
               NVRM: information. The 470.239.06 NVIDIA driver will ignore
               NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe...

And yet their documentation says it should still be supported:

  https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/470.239.06/README/supportedchips.html

So I guess the docs are wrong and we should not be offering Nvidia 470 for the GT 730. Instead, you have three options:

1. Uninstall the Nvidia driver and use the default open source driver instead.

2. Install Ubuntu 22.04 instead, which was the last release to fully support Nvidia's 390 driver.

3. Install a newer graphics card.

Running KDE it's also possible you will encounter bug 2063143.
