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)

Off-topic but may I ask what is your disability? I am disabled as well after suffering a stroke that I wasn't supposed to live through, and am passively looking for others like me to game with (I mean anybody is cool but it'd be nice to have others that are in similar situations, for support and stuff). I play racing / shooters / strategy games one-handed, partially blind, with some cognitive struggles.
