I recently learned about an app called Snappy Driver Installer Origin. It's a minimal FOSS program that checks our PC for the drivers it has, needs installed, or updated and goes about it quickly. It's also portable so it's great if you want it on a install thumb drive.

There are so many apps out there that try to get you to buy or pay a subscription for this feature and others, so it's been a breath of fresh air for me to have learned about and use it.

Linux Mint did this out of the box for me with zero effort

In fact, I'm about to install it on my second PC in two months 👹
