# Post-install Setup ## GPU Drivers ### Nvidia For Nvidia drivers, make sure to check your distribution's "Driver Manager" if available; The Driver manager of your Distro should be able to automatically detect your GPU and install appropriate drivers. **If there is no "Driver Manager" included, but your Distro is still based on Ubuntu, you can run `sudo ubuntu-drivers install` in a Terminal, and it should install anyways** ### AMD / Intel AMD and Intel GPU drivers are already included with the Linux Kernel, there is no need to install them seperately. ## Installing software on all of the Distributions recommended, there is generally a software store you can use to download your favourite programs. ### Windows Programs Whilst no Windows program will run "officially", a lot of them are usable through Wine. Wine is a program which "translates" Windows software to something your Linux/macOS system can understand in realtime. It's comparable to Apple's Rosetta 2 in it's concept *(not in actual code tho)* The easiest way to use Wine, is to use a helper program called [Bottles](https://usebottles.com/), or for games you can use [Lutris](https://lutris.net/) **Always remember that this is NOT a perfect solution! many programs, like Adobe's software Suite will not work without massive workarounds, if you depend on Windows software for your job or else, have a seperate Windows installation ready!** ### Games Most games can be played through Steam, for the ones that aren't on Steam, [Lutris](https://lutris.net/) is a great tool Make sure to enable Proton for all games in `Steam Settings > Steam Play` **Protondb.com can help in finding out what games run well, and which don't, as well as getting community insight on getting games to run with workarounds** *[Linux Distribution]: An Operating System made using Linux *[Linux Distributions]: Operating Systems made using Linux *[Linux Distros]: Operating Systems made using Linux *[Linux Distro]: An Operating System made using Linux *[Wayland]: A modern Display Server Protocol, which is aimed at replacing X.org *[ootb]: Out Of The Box (By Default) *[PipeWire]: Software for Multimedia processing on Linux *[PipeWire-Pulse]: An addition to Pipewire, which adds Audio functionality compatible with PulseAudio *[PulseAudio]: An older Audio implementation used on Linux, which has been mostly replaced by PipeWire *[Offline Upgrades]: Upgrades/Updates, which reboot the PC to apply
