All drivers are included in the kernel. The only driver needed is the Nvidia one, thanks to Nvidia not disclosing the information to have the free one working out of the box, like AMD and Intel does.

Ninite will not work on linux as it is a Windows executable, however ubuntu usually ships with libre, and I'm pretty sure you can apt install steam.

Don't worry about chipset drivers like you would in Windows. These drivers are almost always part of the Linux kernel. There are only a handful of closed source drivers you need to worry about when working in Linux land. Typically those are with nVidia and wireless adapters. Intel and AMD's GPU drivers are part of the Linux kernel, so you don't typically have to worry about that.
