+description: Finally a  working config
+category: article
+---
+
+# Packages you need
+
+To detect the right type of driver to install `apt` repositories have a package
+called `nvidia-detect` which I recommend running first. In my case running a 
+_GTX 2060_ I had to install the generic `nvidia-driver` package
+
+**Before you install the driver package!**
+
+Grab the apt package `nvidia-xconfig`. If you're like me and never bothered to
+an `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` this will write out a config for you that should,
+_just werk_.
+
+# Installing
+
+Commands are listed in order, just be sure to run with correct permissions.
+
+```
+apt install nvidia-detect
+package=$(nvidia-detect | grep '^ *nvidia')
+apt install "$package"
+nvidia-xconfig
+```
+
+Note: Pretty much all of the above commands, except for line 2 require elevated
+permissions.
