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.
EDIT: forgot to mention my Logitech mouse that didn’t seem to work besides basic mouse functionality, I need certain macros and things on it which doesn’t save on the mouse it self (mouse was a gift from my mom)
Piper is probably what you want for the mouse (and maybe solaar which handles unifying receiver/bolt connectivity.
As far as Nvidia goes though, that’s likely to be the sticking point right now. Maybe at some point they will clean up their act, but I wouldn’t hold my breathe so I wouldn’t ask you to wait.
Windows 10 may be the better fit right now, and that’s ok. Maybe Nvidia will release new drivers in a few weeks or months and you’ll have more options, but for now I think Win10 may be the best fit for what you need.

Edit: Maybe see if Mint works out? https://lemmy.world/post/15653242
