You install the Nvidia drivers through your distro package manager. That's worked for me for the past 10 years. In recent years, the driver or some component of it recompiles via dkms whenever you install a new kernel. The Nouveau drivers have never worked for me.

- jandrese 3y agoYeah, I see a lot of people bemoaning the difficulty of installing the nVidia driver on Linux, but in my experience it amounts to clicking a box in the configuration and letting DKMS do its magic. Actually easier than the Windows driver that you have to go to their website and download. Downside is the driver version is usually somewhat behind the Windows version, but that's not been a showstopper for me.
