I tried to install supported driver and error occurred saying kernel not supported with current kernel

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

I installed driver bt still no driver is loaded maybe its the nvidiaxconfig file

some helpful info to help you learn more about installing driver in question found here:
https://linuxx.info/installing-nvidia-driver-in-debian-10/

Parrot is based on Debian so everything applies except the Debian repositories (Do not add debian repositories)

Check your driver status:

lspci-k | grep -EA2 “VGA|3D|Display”
7

Ispci | grep -EA2 “VGA |3D|DISPLAY”
I have got intel first and nvidia second
For intel “Kernel driver in use :i915”
For nvidia" kernel modules:nvidia"
