I have default Ubuntu repositories and get to install proprietary video drivers. I opened the "Software & Updates" section in the Settings and...
What is the difference between NVidia driver with -server suffix and without one. Which a meta-package should I install?
Both the options, nvidia-driver-470 and nvidia-driver-470-server, have a similar description that does not clarify which one should I prefer. Maybe I should install both of them? But Software Properties offer radio buttons only.
Description: NVIDIA driver metapackage
This metapackage depends on the NVIDIA binary driver and on all of its libraries,
to provide hardware acceleration for OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES/Vulkan
applications on either X11 or on Wayland.
.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver-470/README.txt.gz
for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
