Hi to everyone! I have installed the Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 on a HP Compaq dc7600 desktop pc, but in Trisquel 8 mini I do not see in Software & Updates "Additional Drivers". Why? Thank you.

Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" are proprietary. By definition Trisquel exists to provide people with an operating system that only includes and proposes free software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

The default kernel has the driver for nVidia video cards, by default. The free software driver, of course. If you face problems, you can try a newer version of the kernel, taken from jxself's APT repository for Linux-libre: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
