on another site A lot of people are having issues getting Ubuntu and Blender with nvidia cards installed and working quickly and easily so I think I will park this here.
first, download and install Ubuntu 16.04, get that? 16.04 and only 16.04.
get it installed and updated, and stable on one and the one and only drive even installed in your computer, this Really counts so only this one drive attached..... ok.......
then go into your programs and open software and updates, not software updater, SOFTWARE AND UPDATES.....
select additional drivers.
check, using NVIDIA binarry driver-version whatever it says and let it load and select restart and let the thing restart.
after restart open terminal and copy and paste these commands.
To enable fan control and card clocking.
Type this in terminal.
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28
to install blender in ubuntu.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
install Blender for the first time or upgrade Blender via command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install blender
To restore to the stock version of Blender in Ubuntu’s main repository, purge the ppa via command:
sudo apt install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
after you get this going and stable, install your windows to another drive, with this one disconnected, after you get windblows working, can't say stable with microcrap, install the ubuntu drive and you are all set with a dual boot, worthless windows and ubuntu with blender, rendering rig.
