I think the 2013 uses a 9400 nvidia which the standard drivers for nvidia will work. But if the Mac mini is a 320 nvidia that needs the legacy nvidia drivers. Not sure those work on the 20.04 Ubuntu variances. Might not be worth it for the old drivers.

Aaron,

In my experience, nouveau is adaquate, but to really use your Nvidia

hardware, you're gonna want to get the native Nvidia drivers going. You

won't be disappointed in the performance improvements.
