[nmglug] NVIDIA driver on iMac

[Wesley Robbins]

I think the 2013 uses a 9400 nvidia which the standard drivers for nvidia
will work.   But if the Mac mini is a 320 nvidia that needs the legacy
nvidia drivers.   Not sure those work on the 20.04 Ubuntu variances.
Might not be worth it for the old drivers.
