So I want to install the proprietary drivers for my GTX770 and I found conflicting information.
I found this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Ubuntu_14.04_and_up) official Ubuntu page and it seems to me it uses Nvidia drivers that are provided by Ubuntu. I'm guessing I don't need to add additional entry on my repository list to access this.
But I also found this PPA (https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers). Multiple internet guides suggests this 3rd-party repository for Nvidia drivers.
So which one to use?
Also Is there some sort of alias to install the latest so I don't have to know which version number to use?
example:
use
instead of
I tried:
and it wants to install version 30x which I know is definitely not the latest.
Thanks for the help.
