Initially installing Linux, you should install drivers designed for a graphics card. This method is acceptable for NVIDIA and ATI video cards. For other video cards, installation is not required. Through the "Programs and Updates" window, we find the "Extras" tab Drivers "and click on it. Note the necessary drivers, confirm the action by pressing the corresponding button.

Next, set the libraries, as well as codecs intended for playing various multimedia files. To implement this action, the Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras package is ideal, which is part of Ubuntu repository. The above package includes fonts, codecs and a standard player from Microsoft. To find it in the console, you must register the relevant commands: "sudo apt-get update", after which we enter "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras".
