From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You are trying to install wrong versions of nvidia drivers and proton app.
For nvidia, use this https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-26-04
For proton vpn, I assume you are trying to install app meant for 24.04. Do not do that, just search one for 26.04, if it is available.
I installed Steam with flakpak, it works great!! Thank you so much for the help. I can continue using 26.04 <3
Hey, thanks for the reply!
When I start up steam, it says I am missing that specific Nvidia driver with commands to install it. So Maybe Canonical needs to release a new steam client as well?
On the Ubuntu discourse I saw other people had the similiar problem but with newer drivers

Thank you so much.
