Hi guys I actually coun't find proper Ubuntu / Linux section and decided to place it under SteamOS (mod move if needed plz/thx )
So I have Ubuntu 14.04.3 and finally found good and somewhat easy amd safe way of installing nVidia driver under ubuntu.
EDGERS is an answer for me. by using this command I managed to get my GTX980 up and running.
But here is the question. How do I update it.
Right now I have 355.06 installed witch at the time of installation was the latest available. Latest beta I may say. Now I see 355.11 and 352.41 (352 is actually released after 355 wtf ? )
Anyhow. Let's say I want to upgrade from 355.06 to 355.11 , how exactly do I do this with EDGERS ? Is it as simple as:
and it'll install latest version ? Because look here is what I did to see what's available from them.
I guess 355 still 355.06 with them at the moment. But if it were an update how do I go about upgrading it ?
Thank you guys !
