We’re now at a point where transitioning fully to the open-source GPU kernel modules is the right move, and we’re making that change in the upcoming R560 driver release.

Unfortunate for my old laptop still reliant on the open source alternative driver for linux due to how buggy the official nvidia driver is. (Steam doesn't even open with nvidia drivers on)

Sounds like you have more issues than the driver. I would suggest looking up proper configuration for your machine

It is an old quadro k1100m GPU, and the drivers are the latest official legacy drivers for it by nvidia. Old GPUs are barely maintained for linux, and I don't think these drivers were officially for Mint, but rather Debian core or Ubuntu.

I could try a different distro for better results.
