Linux and Graphics - doing something very very incorrect

I'm trying to install NVidia drivers to Linux, I got the ones I thought were right but upon trying to install them I get a "You are running Linuxx86_64 not Linuxx86" error message, which is really really confusing because the entire computer and assumedly thus this install is entirely 32 bit

I've looked at a lot of guides that all tell me to install a lot of stuff, but when I type these things into the package manager it either finds nothing or shows something completely irrelevant that has nothing in particular in common or any relation to what I typed

I assume I'm doing something fairly basic incorrect when it comes to using linux

Nevermind, a friend showed me a trick with the graphics driver and stuff worked after that
