To install the Nvidia driver, all you have to do is run the script
installer that's on their website.  It installs itself.  Then, usually you
have to edit one config file, very basic, and it's done.

Sound drivers will get loaded automatically (comes with virtually any
Linux distro you would use), and the others don't need drivers, they are
built in to the OS.
