Please apt install nvidia-open on supported hardware, older hardware needs 580 proprietary driver.
Some discussion is here:
Proprietary Kernel Modules Removed
The proprietary kernel modules have been removed. The open kernel modules are now the only kernel module flavor provided.

There is a discussion about Kernel.orgs changes to the Kernel breaking Nvidia drivers, I just can’t find it at the moment.
