<pre>I wont recommend using/keeping the GP106 (GTX 1060). It cant ever run with free
software:

Sell this crappy GP102 card (in your case the notebook that contains this crap)
away and go away from nvidia. Nvidia died with the 780ti card. Its the last
end-user card that can be used normaly. Everything else is in some countries
even a legal problem. Because the manufacturer (nvidia) blocks the users from
beeing able to boot the software they want on THEIR hardware - happyly illegal
in some countries. Hopefully some layer would sue the heck out of nvidia so
that they would have to release the private signing key or close their doors.
Blocking the freedom of the users on such way should not be accepted by anyone.</pre>
