NVIDIA Driver Manager

A Debian-native management utility for NVIDIA's proprietary Linux driver.

Overview

NVIDIA Driver Manager automatically checks NVIDIA's UNIX driver page for new Production Branch releases, downloads new drivers, and installs them using NVIDIA's official .run installer while integrating with DKMS and Secure Boot.

The project is specifically designed for Debian Trixie systems using the official NVIDIA installer instead of Debian-packaged drivers.
