Yes.  See the Help Manual's Video Drivers section.

Please don't bump your own threads. People will answer when they have the time to. Many people here have other life responsibilities. Cheers :)

WinRocks4343,

The Help Manual's Video Drivers section says to go to Menu > Settings > Install Drivers.

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.
