How to Install NVIDIA Drivers on Unraid

When installing a Linux distribution, you may not automatically bundle with it and will require you to enable them manually. This is because some Wi-Fi drivers are proprietary, which means that your wireless hardware may not work until they are installed. These proprietary drivers are written and maintained by the manufacturer themselves.

Some manufacturers provide drivers that are both proprietary and open-source, allowing for a seamless installation process. However, if a device is unable to work on Linux, it's often only a few lines of code away from being functional.

One key difference between Linux and other operating systems like Windows is how they handle hardware drivers. In Windows, the first step after installation is to install hardware drivers. For example, to install the NVIDIA driver, you would run the command `sudo apt-get install nvidia-current`.

On Unraid, installing a driver typically involves running a command in the terminal. If you're using Ubuntu, you can check the Ubuntu website for available drivers. Alternatively, you can visit your Linux distribution's website or search for Linux drivers on Google. Another option is to visit the manufacturer's website and look for Linux drivers.

In summary, finding and installing the right driver for your device on Unraid is a relatively straightforward process. With a few lines of code, you can get your hardware up and running smoothly on your Linux system.
