For Ubuntu and Ubuntu-compatible distros you can
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
Check for latest version number (3 digits) here:
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-driv...ive/ubuntu/ppa
or
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-
and use tab-completion to see available versions.
Finally
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-xxx
where xxx the latest version number you want to install.
This is for Nvidia, I saw there's an AMD version above.
