Hi and welcome to the forum killdaNME. Glad to have you.

For your best bet of getting sorted, I'd start a new thread for each of your problems in the appropriate sub-forum, in this case probably the Peripherals/Hardware section

Welcome to Linux and Linux forums!

Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu are quite easy to install. Look in your System menu for a program called "Hardware Drivers." Make sure you have an internet connection, and run it. The proper drivers will appear in a list and you can click "Activate" to download, install, and activate them. Reboot and you're done.
