  • If the PPA is maintained properly (by nvidia), the normal update & upgrade method, that works for all program packages will work also for your driver, that you have installed via the PPA. I use the command line sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Once a PPA is added to your source list. The packages you install from it will be upgrade as needed. You should be notified when new update is available if you don't install a specific version.
