Howdy – long-time user who is looking to refresh my setup.
There used to be ubuntu minimal (server) install guides for Nvidia and Intel HW acceleration. I have done some searching for current version of the same, but thus far haven’t found anything along the same lines …
If this is not so much required nowadays and I can install from repo after another fresh ubuntu server install pls let me know as well.
Thanks
EDIT:
These are the old-timey guides for reference …. 😉
