				On Linux, graphics drivers are usually installed as a package by your Linux
				distribution. Installing the latest drivers is typically done by upgrading
				packages or the distribution as a whole. Some distributions provide multiple
				packages for multiple drivers versions, giving you the choice to install newer
				versions.

				For NVIDIA there are open source (Nouveau) and closed source (by NVIDIA)
				graphics drivers. Blender functions best with the closed source drivers as they
				are more optimized and complete. Linux graphics drivers can be downloaded from
				NVIDIA’s website, however in most cases the ones from your Linux distribution
				are fine and make things easier. Manually downloading drivers is mostly useful
				to get the very latest version, for example for a GPU that was only recently
				released.
