There is no Driver manager http://disq.us/p/1axufjw
You could try this tutorial: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-t...nial-xerus

apt-cache search "NVIDIA binary driver"
sudo apt install nvidia-xxx (where xxx is the version you want to install)

You could also add the ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update

i installed it true the synaptic package manager this looks promising

Install through the synaptic package manager, which it looks like you figured that out. It works great on GTX950.

What's the problem with the driver manager and Neon?

[leszek]

Driver Manager is built against an older packagekit version and this older version is incompatible with muon and the plasma desktop tools.

Ok, so by the time there comes a recompiled version Installing the Nvidia driver is easy but what about microcode patches for the CPUs? Can you please provide the relevant package names?

[leszek]

Microcode packages should be either amd64-microcode or intel-microcode
