What’s the Most Stable NVIDIA Driver for Ubuntu?

-

I’m having trouble with my NVIDIA graphics setup, specifically with the 570 and 565 drivers. I’m wondering if the 560 version is considered stable at this point, or if I should be looking at the 555 version or even older releases. Any insights?

Honestly, versions 555, 560, and 565 are all pretty outdated and have security vulnerabilities. If you’re experiencing issues with the 570 driver, could you provide more details on what problems you’re facing? Are you using version 570.133.07 specifically?

I’d recommend switching to a more up-to-date distribution and installing the latest Nvidia driver. The older drivers are just causing headaches. By the way, not all distros are equally reliable for gaming, just saying.

True, but isn’t there a way to stick with Ubuntu? Like adding the graphics-drivers PPA to get the latest drivers?
