I'm just wondering if I need to look at my graphics drivers and adjust anything?
Nothing is broken!
just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to maintain/configure graphics drivers? Best practices, do's and don't s, etc. Whatever documentation you suggest I read up on.
I guess these tips could apply to any piece of hardware on a computer.
Where should I look to find the proper drivers for specific hardware?
Here is my garuda-inxi
. I'm assuming I'll need some information from here, most likely hardware identification.
