To install the latest proprietary Nvidia driver on an Ubuntu Linux system, you can use the apt-get command.

First, update the package index by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

This will ensure that you have access to the latest version of the Nvidia driver.

Next, install the Nvidia driver by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver

This will install the latest proprietary Nvidia driver and any dependencies it requires.

Once the installation is complete, you can verify that the Nvidia driver is being used by running the following command:
