From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you sure you're using the official Nvidia drivers and not Noveau? What does it say when you write
nvidia-smiin the terminal?Either way, it is a pretty old and weak card, but it should run better than 6fps on gtav.
It identifies and loads up the interface.
One process, Xorg @ 4MiB
I've got the right click to use card menu, and use that to force flatpak Steam to use it. Then I confirm in game it is selected.
It feels like a huge step down from Intel gfx on an older laptop running Windows...
