So I have been trying to get my nVidia GPU detected by Ubuntu 20.04 for quite some time now, and none of the suggestions I have found online have helped. My main problem is that I can't see any output when running the suggested commands. Here are the things I have tried:

1. The first suggestion appears to be to run lspci -v | grep VGA which when I run it in the Ubuntu terminal give no output.


2. lspci | egrep -i "vga|display|3d" was suggested as well, but no luck.


3. Another suggestion was to run sudo lshw -C video, again no output.


4. Also ran lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA", no output


5. And finally lspci -nn | grep '[03'

Checking these appears to be the first step in the solution proposed by contributors online, but I can't even get this first step running. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could proceed?

Edit

Perhaps I should also specify that I am using a Windows subsystem for Linux. Here are the outputs:

1. No output


2. No output


3. Linux DESKTOP-IQST6BS 5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2 #1 SMP Wed Oct 28 23:40:43 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


4. Graphics: Message: No Device data found. Display: server: No display server data found. Headless machine? tty: 120x30 Message: No advanced graphics data found on this system.


5. No output


6. [ 1.890709] ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-Lenovo-NV-HDMI-Audio)

Edit 2

So I have followed the instructions here as recommended, but I still cannot connect to the GPU. For example when I input sudo prime-select nvidia the output is simply Error: no integrated GPU detected.. Can anyone maybe point me to what went wrong here?
