Ubuntu 22.04 supports NVIDIA drivers through the proprietary NVIDIA driver package, which is available in the Ubuntu repository. Since the laptop features a GTX 1650 Ti graphics card (not GTX 1050 Ti as mentioned in the community post), we’ll focus on the corresponding driver.

To install the correct NVIDIA driver, follow these steps:

  1. Update your system packages and ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
  1. Download and install the NVIDIA driver package for Ubuntu 22.04. For the GTX 1650 Ti, you’ll need the nvidia-driver-525 package. You can install it using:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525
  1. Reboot your system after installation:
sudo reboot
  1. Verify the driver installation by checking the NVIDIA driver version:
nvidia-settings -v

This should display the installed driver version (e.g., 525.78).

Remember to periodically update your system and NVIDIA driver to ensure you have the latest security patches and performance improvements.

Please note that the GTX 1650 Ti is a relatively older graphics card, and newer Ubuntu versions might have limited support or optimized performance for this specific model. If you encounter issues or instability, consider reaching out to the Ubuntu community or NVIDIA support for further assistance.
