I have no option for 1920x1080. I get these errors with the command

However a non-free solution like the one mentioned above in the link, to install : https://packages.debian.org/stretch-bac ... sc-nonfree - is not an option for me for two reasons, one:
source: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/tab/ke ... -statementWe, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development model
and then the Nvidia drivers or non-free packages may have privacy issues. I know Nvidia drivers have telemetry tracking that is hard to disable with Windows. However closed source may have new privacy threats and this defeats the purpose of why I use Linux.
So my question is, what is the free way to fix my resolution problem?
Thank you!
