Like many others, I have studied the Nvidia driver kernel modules, with much headache and furrowed brow. Is this Nvidia open source article real and does anyone know if these terminal commands from Nvidia actually work for Kubuntu, Ubuntu? Like most, I highly distrust Nvidia because there seems to be some sort of disconnect between them and Linux systems. Would it actually install a open source nvidia driver? Is CUDA a good or bad thing for Kubuntu 22.04?
apt: Ubuntu and Debian-based distributions
Run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-open
To upgrade using the cuda metapackage on Ubuntu 20.04, first switch to open kernel modules:
$ sudo apt-get install -V nvidia-kernel-source-open
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-open
dnf: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Kylin, Amazon Linux, or Rocky Linux
Run the following command:
$ sudo dnf module install nvidia-driver:open-dkms
