2. 2. Adding NVIDIA PPA

   Especially relevant: for some dated Cards this PPA Repo may not be relevant, so in that case you may try directly Searching and Installing the Driver.

   And so before Setting it up you can directly Check which is the Minimum Driver version to Support your Card on: NVIDIA Driver support Website!
