Hello all, need some advice on installing Nvidia driver. I just got a Dell laptop and plan to use Linux Mint on it. I saw under "Software Manager" of latest Linux Mint, it has an Nvidia driver of version x.x.047. Nvidia website has version x.x.51. I downloaded the latest from Nvidia. When trying to run it, it said that I have "X server" running and I need to quite that before running installation again.
What is the recommendation? Should I stick with the latest on Software Manager? Or if I am adventurous enough, I do "sudo init 3", install the latest driver and reboot? Just want to see what folks have done recently. thanks -v
