+- **Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware**
+
+This installs proprietary (non-free) drivers to provide the best Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and GPU support (mainly for NVIDIA graphics, as AMD and Intel graphics are supported natively by the Linux kernel).
+
+- **Download and install support for additional media formats**
+
+This installs packages for playing media files such as MP3, MP4, and other formats that may require non-free codecs.

 ## Install Ubuntu
 
+### Disk setup

 Option             | Action
 ------------------ | ----------------
-**Upgrade** | To preserve everything in the `/home` directory and attempt to restore Ubuntu to a working condition. This option can also be used to upgrade Ubuntu to the version currently on the bootable media. Choose this option if you would like to repair your OS. This is the least destructive of the options.
-**Erase Ubuntu** | To erase only the partitions related to Ubuntu. Choose this option if you would like to preserve an existing installation of Windows or another operating system, while still reinstalling Ubuntu.
-**Install Ubuntu Alongside** | To allow you to add an additional operating system to your computer. Choose this option if you already have an operating system, such as Windows or another version of Linux, and would like to also install Ubuntu. Please note that the existing operating system's partition will need to be reduced before installing Ubuntu in the extra space.
-**Erase Disk** | To erase everything on the hard drive and install Ubuntu. The is the most destructive of the options, and will guarantee a clean slate. This option also has to be selected if you would like to encrypt the entire drive. When encrypting the drive, select **Use LVM with the new Ubuntu Installation** option for flexibility with partitions later.
-**Something Else** | To do a manual installation of the partitions. This can be used to customize the partition or put certain directories on separate partitions or disks.
