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

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)

Using NVIDIA Graphics for gaming, I have had the most luck and best performance on Pop!_OS. Thanks to their easy driver-setup and Proton on Steam, I am yet to have a game not run properly.
