### Install The System76 Driver

Once you've upgraded Ubuntu, you'll need to download and install the current System76 Driver. Open the Terminal app (search <u>Terminal</u> from the Activities Overview or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd>), then enter the following commands:

```bash
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:system76-dev/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install system76-driver
```

**For NVIDIA Graphics:** If you own a system with a discrete NVIDIA graphics card, you will need to manually install the closed source drivers for your card to get the optimum performance. Please run the following command:

```bash
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia
```
After upgrading Ubuntu, the System76 Ubuntu software repository should be added and the System76 Driver should be installed. [This article](/articles/system76-driver) covers that process.

Once the process is finished, reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
