Ubuntu 19.04 is coming and everyone is waiting for the first reviews of this popular distribution, in the gaming area it will surely receive a higher rating, this thanks to the fact that the default graphic driver brings a surprise for Nvidia GPU users.

At Ubuntu MATE blog, Martin Wimpress, mentions that things have changed between version 18.10 and the one that will arrive later this week, mentioning that version 19.04 is a "modest update", although he also mentions that there are notable features, one of them has to do with the Nvidia graphics cards.

If you have an Nvidia graphics and during the installation of Ubuntu MATE 19.04 (or some distro based on Ubuntu 19.04) you press install third-party drivers, the system installs the best graphics driver that Nvidia has to offer youThat is, if you have an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti you will receive version 418, a user with a GTX 960m card will receive version 390 of the driver instead.

Before Ubuntu 19.04 users needed to install the system, add additional drivers, and then choose Nvidia's proprietary drivers from various options. Now it is only a matter of activating the option and you will be ready.

Ubuntu wants to improve the first experience and reduce potential pain and confusion for Linux first timers. With Ubuntu 19.04, Linux increases its presence in gaming. Finally, it should be noted that Lubuntu will not support this option.
