Ubuntu installs Nvidia drive tutorial via PPA

It is not so easy to install the Nvidia driver for Ubuntu, and Ubuntu's collaboration with Nvidia is not that harmonious, which should be an open secret in the open source world because the Nvidia driver is a closed source. A few days ago, the Ubuntu community established a new PPA named Graphics Drivers PPA, which specifically provides the latest version of the various drivers for Ubuntu users. At present, the first to launch is the Nvidia drive. So we can install Nvidia drivers for Ubuntu through the PPA.

In fact, Nvidia is not the only Linux under the criticism of the driver problem, probably because the number of Linux desktop users is far from the Windows bar, most graphics manufacturers do not attach much importance to the Linux version of the graphics driver development.

But the problem was finally solved by the Ubuntu team, where users can solve GPU driver problems through an official PPA.

How Ubuntu installs Nvidia drives via PPA:

Currently the Graphic Drivers PPA only supports Nvidia drivers, and the Ubuntu version supported is Ubuntu 12.04.1 to 15.10.

1. Add graphic Drivers PPA using the following command
