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 yeah I try every like 4-6 months because of the fucking windows is garbage and I want Linux to work. I saw the most recent update to kde and apparently Nvidia which gave me a lot of hope but still have problems regardless. Probably will get cravings again for Linux in like 4-6 months then try it all over again

I have a Helios predator with nvidia 1060 mobile. I use garuda and it works well, maybe try garuda next time if you do let me know and I can try to help if anything pops up
