        sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia

        where “-p” means purge.

          thx that works for me because I had an error by starting steam:

          glxChooseVisual failed.

          now steam starts again.

            Steam needs some nvidia 32bit OpenGL libraries, might these have been missing.See here for example
            https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1734336452585106002/
            Please read both sides.

            Steam always needs to be installed before the nvidia driver , otherwise there are problems with the 32-bit libraries.

              @caprea, is that true if you have enabled 32 bit architecture prior to installing?

              sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

              It has been a long while since I installed Steam, so I may be misremembering.

                Well ,I’m not sure.For installing steam on debian the i386 architecture must have been added before.

                  As I recollect, if you enable 32 bit architecture, install the display driver, then Steam, it works. It has been so long, I am not 100% certain.
