Is there a drivers update program for Ubuntu?

Question

There's a program called Driver Booster for Windows that I use sometimes to update drivers that I cannot find easily. Since I switched over to using Ubuntu for my laptop, I just use sudo apt upgrade for updating packages on my machine. But I'm not sure whether that will also update my drivers to the newest version. Is there a program on Ubuntu that shows me outdated drivers on my machine and let me update them?

Answer 1

In Linux, nearly all drivers are built directly into the Linux kernel and thus are upgraded every time you update the kernel.

The exceptions, such as some WiFi NIC drivers, and GPU drivers, may or may not be upgraded with an apt upgrade depending on a couple factors (such as whether or not the package is "held back"). You can control the installed version of these drivers through Software & Updates --> Additional Drivers.
