Hi! I have a problem with nvidia drivers. Yesterday i turned on my pc and got this message on boot -- "Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon" and then boot freeze on loading gnome display manager. Then i switch with ctrl+alt+f2, log in and trying to delete drivers (i have nvidia gt600) and install other drivers versions, but nothing happens. Then i'd deleted gnome display manager and installed lightdm. I reboot pc and got this message again, but lightdm loaded and log in. After logging in i just delete all that relating with nvidia by

Sorry for my english
If you still have the rt kernel installed, the driver may be still be trying to build on it and failing, bringing the process to a halt. Try fully removing the rt kernel.
The easiest installation of a low-latency kernel that I know will work with Nvidia drivers is the Liquorix kernel, though if you just go and install their latest 5.8 kernel, your standard Buster 390xx legacy driver also will fail to build. You'll need a backport of that driver from upstream Debian, and I don't know if buster-backports has done that yet, since the 5.8 kernel hasn't made to backports yet, either. Perhaps the 5.7 Liquorix kernel plus backports drivers would work, though.
The same deal applies to many other non-kernel Linux drivers, such as for virtualbox or for broadcom-sta-dkms.

I upgraded Liquorix on my audio production system about a week ago. Nvidia did not build on 5.8 then.
Perhaps the 5.7 Liquorix kernel plus backports drivers would work, though.
Can confirm that works and is my current setup.

Yes, the set of Nvidia drivers from upstream Debian have to be backported to build on a 5.8 kernel, like we have done for the MX test repository. They should make it into buster-backports when a 5.8 kernel is backported there.
The Liquorix repository still offers quite a choice of kernel versions, but the older ones probably have more security vulnerabilities, since they don't get security updates. https://liquorix.net/debian/pool/main/l/linux-liquorix/
