Blender (v2.82a) does not recognize and use my NVIDIA Quadro P400 GPU since I switched to a Linux OS (Lubuntu 20.04).

Does it mean that my GPU does not work with Blender for this OS ?

I went to Blender manual and it appears that CUDA and OptiX are supported for GPU rendering with Nvidia graphics cards (https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html).

Quadro P400 can be seen in the list of CUDA-Enabled NVIDIA Quadro and NVIDIA RTX : https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus#compute

Yet it is not recognized
