I’m disabled and no way to get anything from what I have now, which is a omen laptop from 2016 and no matter what ditro, and whatever fixes I try, I can’t get Linux to work with my games through steam without a lot of problems.

When do you think Nvidia will actually be usable for gaming on a laptop?

Distro I used was Ubuntu, nobara, pop os, EndeavourOS, umm like others I can’t currently remember.

Always seems to be some minor thing that just breaks things or little nuanced glitches in the desktop environment, like kde plasma just not showing specific things.

If I could get a better laptop or computer that wouldn’t have these problems I would.

I’m forced to be on windows 10.

    Hate to say it but I agree with bilb, you might need to stick with windows. I tried Linux on a hybrid graphics laptop a few years ago and it was a disaster. I did get a handful of games to work but nothing that would actually push the graphics card. It was more trouble than it was worth.

    I know it doesn’t help you, but on desktop with AMD it’s been smooth sailing .
