Yes. See the Help Manual's Video Drivers section.
thanks for reply
i did clean install Linux Lite 3.2, installed all updates, restart PC, do i need to go here first?
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime nvidia-361-updates nvidia-settings
Please don't bump your own threads. People will answer when they have the time to. Many people here have other life responsibilities. Cheers
thanks for reply
can i uninstall nouveau before installing nvidia?
WinRocks4343,
You don't have to uninstall, just install the Nvidia proprietary, tested one........(you're gonna make me say it)......like the manual shows. In my own defense, I pointed you to the direct section covering that, twice.
I don't expect everyone to be like me. I was drawn to this distro partly because of the documentation. Before it was laid out in tiles like it is today, it was one long webpage. I read it all. It would behoove you to do the same. I don't expect you will, but at least go over the sections I or those on the forum mention.
Truth be told, I don't even know how to uninstall nouveau. I do know how to select the latest proprietary driver, though. For all I know, it uninstalls nouveau as part of its install.
I found
this but am unsure what needs altering from it to make an efficient and concise tutorial for Linux Lite.
thanks for reply but i really don't know how to do it, it's my first time Linux user
