How do I check for driver updates in ubuntu?

While Ubuntu automatically checks for driver updates by default, you can also do so manually.

  1. Click on the “Applications” icon under the Unity Launcher.
  2. Enter “Update” into the text box and click “Update Manager” when it appears in the search results.

How do I find drivers in Linux?

Open the dash, search for “Additional Drivers,” and launch it. It will detect which proprietary drivers you can install for your hardware and allow you to install them. Linux Mint has a “Driver Manager” tool that works similarly. Fedora is against proprietary drivers and doesn’t make them so easy to install.
