How do you install drivers in Ubuntu? The simple answer is that Ubuntu itself identifies and installs drivers on your system. Unlike older versions of Windows, you donвЂ™ have to manually search for and install drivers here.Д«ut there is a catch. Some hardware components have several drivers available: open source ones and the proprietary ones.Д«y default, Ubuntu installs the open source drivers and in some cases, that causes problems in your Ubuntu install.

You might face some issues with the wireless or the graphics card. Sometimes itвЂ™s because the open source version provided by the Linux distribution doesnвЂ™t work as good as the proprietary drivers provided by the hardware manufacturers. The good thing is that Ubuntu is aware of these issues and this is why it provides an easy way to install additional proprietary drivers. You may use these additional drivers to get better performance on your system. If you find them not working, you can revert easily.
