To enable proprietary hardware drivers in Ubuntu:
- choose Add/Remove Applications on the Applications menu
- search for hardware drivers
- check the box next to the Hardware Drivers application in the search results
- click Apply Changes
- Next, choose System, Administration, Hardware Drivers
- Follow the instructions for activating the driver
Also, Ubuntu doesn't offer proprietary software by default, such as the codecs necessary to play back MP3s, DVDs, Flash animations, and other media.
- To enable most of these proprietary plug-ins and codecs in one step, go to the Add/Remove Applications utility and search for, and install, Ubuntu Restricted Extras
- Super Ubuntu (now known as Super OS) is regular Ubuntu with such things installed
