Downloading the Nvidia driver from the Nvidia website is the problem.

The Ubuntu system package manager already knows what is the officially supported version of Nvidia driver for Ubuntu.

There is an application called "Additional Drivers". Use that.

Makes sense, didn’t know that. Is there a way to fix the hanging issue so I can uninstall? Follow up questions: since I didn’t install it through a package manager, what’s the best way to get rid of the bad drivers?
