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.
My computer is a omen laptop

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)
Oh that sucks for the hybrid option. Most hybrids allow you to turn that off, and you get a fair FPS boost for it in most games. I’m surprised the Omen doesn’t allow it.
For my hybrid laptop, I have to control it with prime-select instead of in bios. I wonder if the games were actually running on the nvidia GPU. If they weren’t, you could have lots of performance problems. Did nvidia-smi say that the games were running on them?
