I use KDE Neon on my laptop and I’d prefer to have KDE as a DE on this one too (if possible) but I don’t mind a non Ubuntu base. Basically I’d just like to be able to play games on it without much hassle but I know how to paste commands into the terminal if the need arises.
Nobara doesn’t because the GPU is too old, that’s why I asked. But Bazzite has a legacy version so it’s fine.
In that case you can just use fedora itself and install the drivers that way
This can’t be. I am using a GPU from the same Pascal generation and just installed the newest availabe Nvidia 570 driver. I also use a Laptop with intel 4770HQ and Nvidia 950m GPU running with the same driver under the same Nobara 42 version with KDE.
You should switch from the open driver to the closed one, if your gpu is in one of the lists: https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/graphics/nvidia/supported-gpus
They explicitly mention the GTX 10xx series not being supported due to being too old. I’m sure there’s a workaround but bazzite works out the box so I’m set.
