Ubuntu Want To Make It Easier For You To Install The Latest Nvidia Linux Driver
================================================================================

Ubuntu Gamers are on the rise -and so is demand for the latest drivers
**Installing the latest upstream NVIDIA graphics driver on Ubuntu could be about to get much easier. **
Ubuntu developers are considering the creation of a brand new official PPA to distribute the latest closed-source NVIDIA binary drivers to desktop users.
The move would benefit Ubuntu gamers **without** risking the stability of the OS for everyone else.
New upstream drivers would be installed and updated from this new PPA **only** when a user explicitly opts-in to it. Everyone else would continue to receive and use the more recent stable NVIDIA Linux driver snapshot included in the Ubuntu archive.
### Why Is This Needed? ###

Ubuntu provides drivers but theyre not the latest
The closed-source NVIDIA graphics drivers that are available to install on Ubuntu from the archive (using the command line, synaptic or through the additional drivers tool) work fine for most and can handle the composited Unity desktop shell with ease.
For gaming needs its a different story.
If you want to squeeze every last frame and HD texture out of the latest big-name Steam game youll need the latest binary drivers blob.
> Installing the very latest Nvidia Linux driver on Ubuntu is not easy and not always safe.
The more recent the driver the more likely it is to support the latest features and technologies, or come pre-packed with game-specific tweaks and bug fixes too.
The problem is that installing the very latest Nvidia Linux driver on Ubuntu is not easy and not always safe.
To fill the void many third-party PPAs maintained by enthusiasts have emerged. Since many of these PPAs also distribute other experimental or bleeding-edge software their use is **not without risk**. Adding a bleeding edge PPA is often the fastest way to entirely hose a system!
A solution that lets Ubuntu users install the latest propriety graphics drivers as offered in third-party PPAs is needed **but** with the safety catch of being able to roll-back to the stable archive version if needed.
### Demand for fresh drivers is hard to ignore ###
> A solution that lets Ubuntu users get the latest hardware drivers safely is coming.
The demand for fresh drivers in a fast developing market is becoming hard to ignore, users are going to want the latest upstream has to offer, Castro explains in an e-mail to the Ubuntu Desktop mailing list.
[NVIDIA] can deliver a kickass experience with almost no effort from the user [in Windows 10]. Until we can convince NVIDIA to do the same with Ubuntu were going to have to pick up the slack.
Castros proposition of a “blessed” NVIDIA PPA is the easiest way to do this.
Gamers would be able to opt-in to receive new drivers from the PPA straight from Ubuntus default proprietary hardware drivers tool — no need for them to copy and paste terminal commands from websites or wiki pages.
The drivers within this PPA would be packaged and maintained by a select band of community members and receive benefits from being a semi-official option, namely **automated testing**.
As Castro himself puts it: People want the latest bling, and no matter what theyre going to do it. We might as well put a framework around it so people can get what they want without breaking their computer.
**Would you make use of this PPA? How would you rate the performance of the default Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu? Share your thoughts in the comments, folks! **

Ubuntu想要让你安装最新版Nvidia Linux驱动更简单
================================================================================
![Ubuntu Gamers are on the rise -and so is demand for the latest drivers](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ubuntugamer_logo_dark-500x250.jpg)
Ubuntu游戏在增长——因而需要最新版驱动
**Ubuntu上安装上游NVIDIA图形驱动即将变得更加容易。**
Ubuntu开发者正在考虑构建一个全新的'官方'PPA以便为桌面用户分发最新的闭源NVIDIA二进制驱动。
该项运动将使得Ubuntu游戏玩家收益并且**不会**给其它人造成OS稳定性方面的风险。
新的上游驱动将通过该新PPA安装并更新**只有**在用户明确选择它。其他人将继续接收并使用更近的包含在Ubuntu归档中的稳定版NVIDIA Linux驱动快照。
### 为什么需要该项目? ###
![Ubuntu provides drivers but theyre not the latest](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/drivers.jpg)
Ubuntu提供了驱动——但是它们不是最新的
可以从归档中使用命令行、synaptic或者通过额外驱动工具安装到Ubuntu上的闭源NVIDIA图形驱动在大多数情况下都能工作得很好并且可以轻松地处理混合Unity桌面shell。
对于游戏需求而言,那完全是另外一码事儿。
如果你想要将所有最后帧和HD纹理从最新的大游戏Steam游戏中挤压出来你需要最新的二进制驱动对象。
> '安装最新Nvidia Linux驱动到Ubuntu不是件容易的事儿而且也不具安全保证。'
驱动越新,越可能支持最新的特性和技术,或者预先打包好了游戏专门优化和漏洞修复。
问题在于安装最新的Nvidia Linux驱动到Ubuntu上不是件容易的事儿也没有安全保证。
要填补空白许多由热心人维护的第三方PPA就出现了。由于许多这些PPA也发布了其它实验性的或者前沿软件它们的使用**没有风险**。添加一个前沿的PPA通常是最快的方式以完全满足系统需要
一个让Ubuntu用户安装作为第三方PPA提供最新专有图形驱动解决方案就十分需要了**但是**提供了一个安全机制,如果有需要,你可以回滚到稳定版本。
### ‘对全新驱动的需求难以忽视’ ###
> '一个让Ubuntu用户安全地获得最新硬件驱动的解决方案出现了。'
'在快速开发市场中,对全新驱动的需求正变得难以忽视,用户将想要最新的上游软件,'卡斯特罗在一封给Ubuntu桌面邮件列表的电子邮件中解释道。
'[NVIDIA]可以分发一个了不起的体验,几乎像[Windows 10]用户那样毫不费力。直到我们可以证实NVIDIA在Ubuntu中做了同样的工作我们就可以收拾残局了。'
卡斯特罗关于一个“神圣的”NVIDIA PPA命题就是最实现这一目的的最容易的方式。
游戏玩家将可以在Ubuntu的默认专有软件驱动工具中选择接收来自该PPA的新驱动——不需要它们从网站或维基页面拷贝并粘贴终端命令了。
该PPA内的驱动将由一个选定的社区成员组成的团队打包并维护并从一个名为**自动化测试**的半官方选项受惠。
就像卡斯特罗自己说的那样:'人们想要最新的闪光的东西,不管他们想要做什么。我们也许也要在其周围放置一个框架,因此人们可以获得他们所想要的,而不必破坏他们的计算机。'
**你想要使用这个PPA吗你怎样来评估Ubuntu上默认Nvidia驱动的性能呢在评论中分享你的想法吧伙计们**
