I'm having trouble installing graphics driver on linux mint.
I'm used to just downloading the driver and just having it automatically install. This driver however has me in the "terminal" thing typing in commands, none of which work correctly.
Is there no way to download drivers and have them automatically install?
......... You should be able to search "Additional Drivers" in your app menu on whatever interface, except mate, and you'll bring up a manager for drivers. You can figure it out from there.
I found driver manager by just typing in "driver" however a box pops up that only shows my my gpu. it has three driver options all of which are very laggy , or give a gpu error when the machine boots into the os. Somthing along the lines of the cpu doing the visual accelerations and the gpu driver not being enabled.
i was in the driver manager and i was changing between the different driver options it had. the (recommended) driver was somewhat laggy and the color was almost like 16 bit color as opposed to 32bit.
the two non recommended driver were very laggy and worse so i switched back to the recommended one and now it basically doesn't seem to be working anymore.
The driver manager app or window rather is very sparce and only shows my gpu , three options for preloaded drivers it has , and that's it. is the driver manager only for gpu's?
