Intel Graphics Driver Update

More games support Linux than ever, thanks to Steam for Linux. But, like on Windows, many of these games require the latest graphics drivers for optimal performance and the fewest bugs. The latest versions of Ubuntu may include fresher drivers, but not necessarily the most recent ones. You can install the most recent drivers yourself, but be careful: you may run into issues if you do this. Ubuntu packages and tests certain versions of the graphics drivers for each release, and doesn’t perform major updates. For maximum stability–particularly if you don’t care about gaming–stick with the graphics drivers Ubuntu provides. You may bump into bugs even if you download the latest graphics drivers directly from the manufacturer. Are You Using a 32-bit or 64-bit Version of Ubuntu? RELATED: You’ll need to know whether you’re using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Ubuntu before continuing.
