11·2 months agoLike others suggested here, the problem is probably nouveau and you might want to try a gaming-oriented distro which usually configure these things correctly out-of-the-box. My favourite is Nobara and Fedora (which didn’t work for you but works for me because I have different hardware). People suggest Bazzite, but I cannot recommend it because it’s based on Fedora Atomic, and I don’t get along with Fedora Atomic.
As a general admittedly non-helpful suggestion, don’t get Nvidia hardware if you want to use Linux.
are there people who made it work? sure.
For some historical context, Nvidia has had premium Linux support since 2006. For the longest time it was the only option for any kind of hardware accelerated 3D graphics on Linux and it generally worked pretty well.
Thankfully, AMD made the open-source side of graphics on Linux work also recently. At least for two years, AMD GPUs have been entirely trouble-free on Linux. To my knowledge, Nouveau is not quite there yet.
I’ve no idea if Arch actually has newer drivers than Debian / Fedora
Kinda, since Arch has nvidia’s own drivers in their extra repo, whereas in Fedora you’ll have to do some stuff to get them.

Fedora has always used their own. Dpkg was released in 1994, RPM in 1997.
My comment was about Windows and MacOS kinda catching up in 2020s.
I’ve been using Linux (also Arch, several years, happily!) since 1996 and for a long time I’ve wondered why every software I run gets access to every file I have.
Flatpak is one way to fix that.
is available as a package or in the AUR
Oh okay, I see. You don’t perhaps care about programs reading the files of other programs. Well, that’s fine, everybody has their own threat models.
Perhaps the message is changing now, after they have kind of caught up finally. How long did it take, 20 years?
Yeah I browsed some more and this site is indeed quite shit.

First time I heard about it. I’m a bit conflicted about what I should think about this. The first two things in there that I noticed were a comprehensive handling of Musk: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/elon-reeve-musk.134949/ and Andrew Tate: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/andrew-tate-top-g-cobratate.127428/
Are they sort of a southparkian “fuck everyone” kind of forum?
Great sentiment I guess but I don’t see any reason to believe this will amount to anything.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon if you’re swimming in money and want the lightest possible laptop, Thinkpad T14 if not.
Asus Zenbooks are kinda neat machines too, and taiwanese instead of chinese, but probably not quite as reliable.
My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.
Daym, I though those things are tanks. Which model?
I used it for a while with an m2 macbook perhaps half a year ago, but ended up getting a PC so I wouldn’t have to deal with so much jank.
I’d like to like KDE but every time I use it there’s a bunch of minor cuts. Instability.
Might be that you really don’t need VMs but just lightweight namespace containers. If so, you can use docker/podman, systemd-nspawn or various other tools. The overhead will be less than 1% if you stay within the same architecture as your host.
