Last time I installed it I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA web

started bothering me. Maybe I should have tried a Debian repo, but I
did not and I have no recollection of the reason.
Anyway, I was trying to install it now using debian repos (deb
http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free), as you
suggested, and I got this. Any suggestion?

Your card is only supported up to the 390 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the

Package "nvidia-installer-cleanup" is in "contrib" section, so you
have to add it too. Don't forget to invoke "apt update" after that.
