Hello everyone,
I work for System76 and (when needed) have back-ported and maintained
newer versions of the Nvidia driver in our PPA[1].
I think this is a great idea and am happy to help. I'd love to see the
Nvidia driver packaging get more attention, plus when System76 is
shipping hardware new

Mordor and other AAA games on Linux. I spoke with Jorge on reddit and he
suggested I post in this mailing list with some thoughts.

I have been using oibaf ppa for long and with good results and stability
but for LTS, it only supports LTS 14.04.1 and not the later. Also AMD
Catalyst PPA is dicey due to AMD's not supporting latest xorg but can be
done for LTS and it would be an excellent idea.

Hi Jorge,
This indeed would be a good move to make it easier for Ubuntu gamers to
easily have access to the latest drivers. The newest NVIDIA drivers
bring some improvements for the higher profile Linux game ports while
having the latest AMD Catalyst Linux driver tends to always be critical

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the overwhelming positive response. In true Ubuntu spirit

Hello, Aspyr Media programmer here.
I think this is a great idea. GPU drivers have always been a rough experience
for us, especially when we were ramping up our Linux development. Having a set
of “blessed” drivers that most users are installing would allows us to focus
our testing on what use

Hey Jorge,
Thanks for the email. I read what you wrote but failed to understand the
details of issue, could you give some details on what sort of issues you
saw? Did we ship drivers buggy enough
Having a disjunct set of packages for every nvidia driver series has
served us well in my opinion. So this should be continued.
A slight change I would prefer is a det of common metapackages. Those
would control which driver gets chosen for install. Basically this could
match the linux-kernel packa

If you want to gather people up to do the AMD side of the house I
think that would be swell.

Hey Jorge,
Nice idea, if any help is needed ill throw my hat in the ring for it too, I
think its a pretty important cause to push gaming as much as we can.
Some things to note, so this is an Nvidia only thing going by what you are
saying, could we have a split for AMD users too? Also I know there
