I wish to stick to using Debian Buster, but since my Nvidia driver was not installing, I tried other distro like Manjaro and that worked. I don't want to stick on Manjaro (I prefer "apt get" / "debian"). So, have attempted multiple times to install Nvidia but couldn't get it working.
Primary issue is that my monitor is not getting detected. (HDMI port is used).
Under Manjaro - here's what the working version looks like.
I installed nvidia-driver-440 which supports my GTX 1650.
Sharing output from inxi -G under Manjaro (when everything works).

I did read Bumblebee is not a good choice, so had not tried it earlier. But after following few articles, I gave up and tried Bumblebee as well. But that led to a screen freeze on boot.
Having gone through multiple articles, I'm not even sure right now, what steps to share (that I tried out). Could anyone please guide me, on how to properly go about installing nvidia driver (440) in Debian buster.
So far on Buster this is what I can say I tried last.

Any suggestions? Other than staying on Manjaro I'm willing to make a fresh attempt.
