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.

With a Nvidia 1660gt iirc
How I prevent the driver update?
Go to the Nvidia Driver Support page, put in your model, and run the binary installer version it points you to. It should handle everything for you, or output an error if your card is no longer supported.
You can also give the Nouveau driver a shot, but it can be somewhat problematic.
