I have installed CUDA 11 using the instructions provided by NVIDIA:
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu2004.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu2004.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/ /"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
If I run nvidia-settings, I have version 460 of the drivers, while the short-lived drivers on NVIDIA website lists as the latest driver version 455:
Does those NVIDIA repositories contain more updated drivers than the ones provided on the website?
Are my drivers good enough for Proton, which says that:
Proton requires graphics drivers that are more recent than what is typically packaged in most distributions
?
