    Wish I could play games on Linux, but for some fucking reason I can't figure out my gaming laptop with Nvidia 1660ti will not work properly with most games. If I ever can afford a new computer I'm probably going with AMD instead tbh.

    What's the output of nvidia-smi? If it's a newer laptop you might need to add a machine owner key so that secureboot will allow the required dynamic kernel modules to load. In debian the module will be signed with the dkms signing key, adding it as a MOK is fairly simple. https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#Making_DKMS_modules_signing_by_DKMS_signing_key_usable_with_the_secure_boot

    *Try disabling secureboot first, if things start working re-enable it and follow the advice above.

    Good advice? In a meme thread? It's more likely than you think.

    While it's great that your helping them ..

    This answer is exactly WHY Linux isn't desktop/gamer ready yet. At least for the masses.

    This answer makes me think back to when I started using Linux and I posted on IRC that my wifi wasn't working. Somebody then gave me source code and a makefile and walked me through recompiling the drivers and installing them and it worked.

    Linux users online can be the most helpful people around.

    Oh absolutely.

    what distro are you using? I never had any issues on my nvidia build with nobara

    [–] abraxas 2 points 9 months ago

    Optimus? Because Optimus is an absolute bastard. It's improved and I've had some luck, but it's painful.

    If your game run terribly on Wayland, try running in on X11, and vice-versa.

    I know this is quite unprompted, but did you install correct video drivers? You gotta install proprietary nvidia drivers and its 32-bit libraries instead of nouveau
