Getting latest nvidia driver through software an updates

Is there A way I can install the latest driver

Using the software and updates manager rather than directly? In my experience manually installing the driver comes at the cost of more instability, but the 495 proprietary driver does not support vulkan 1.3, which I need atm.

Run the following commands to remove the existing nvidia proprietary graphics driver packages.

sudo apt-get remove '^nvidia'
sudo apt autoremove
sudo reboot

Run the following commands in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu to install the nvidia-driver-510 package from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-510 -y
sudo reboot

After logging back in, run the following command to confirm the NVIDIA drivers are installed.

nvidia-smi
