I followed the CUDA installation tutorial from the official NVidia guide but I'm having a problem with switching from power saving mode to performance mode. I tried to log out and login as intructed and tried to reboot but it doesn't save the settings.

I've also tried to run
$nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi: command not found
This is whats happens when i run nvidia-settings
$nvidia-settings
RROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Error querying enabled displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).
ERROR: Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).
** Message: PRIME: Requires offloading
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? yes
ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed along with this driver at /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application
profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.

I've had this same problem when trying to install Nvidia Docker, it turned out I had version 384 and Nvidia Docker installed version 387, which meant that I now had to different nvidia drivers installed in my system.
To solve this just purge both drivers:
Uninstall the nvidia driver
And reinstalled it fromt the tutorial:
NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Linux
