![]() The other common failure point is DKMS integration. Most of the time they work out of the box, but there are edge cases like laptops where the solution is to unpack the package into fes, patch sources, and re-pack to install as usual. I typically avoid distro packages, and go straight for the vendor package. May be a few extra things to tweak for a laptop depending on the hardware vendor, but if it's a true PC with no unsupported/proprietary hardware, you'll probably be good. Not near a computer right now, but I've sorted out most of the common issues with nVidia drivers on desktop, and it's pretty standard work among all distros. I usually carry another computer with me for my productivity stuff. I didn’t bother trying to implement and tweaking the setup to be less of an energy hog. ![]() ![]() There is a Netflix Chrome extension that will fix this. After this, it was trying to get Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu to render and keep my stream at 1080p. My last main gripe was just getting Google Chrome to use my GPU as a AV1/HEVC/VP9 decoder, instead of software rendering. I ran all of these at max graphics, when possible. The games I usually rotate are Elden Ring, Sekiro, Orcs Must Die 3! (I had FPS drops while on Linux for this one), and the Yakuza games. When I was in doubt, I used Xorg just because I used Synergy often too and I was able to push my FPS up without additional configs. I suspect the wrappers were made with older version of Electron. Most things were stable on Wayland, just the occasionally Electron-based wrapper would get messy. Implemented all the Nvidia early loading stuff and kernel mode setting (including the nvidia-drm.modeset) I also installed the mutter-dynamic-bufferingpatch, from AUR. I used GNOME with vanilla linux kernel, and with the propietary drivers (non-DKMS). So I configured my BIOS to turn off the hybrid graphics, so it would always be running the 3070 and not the iGPU. I’m currently not running arch at the moment (I switch OSes fairly often, including Windows in the rotation). GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q For me, I wanted a laptop w/ certain CPU and screen parameters (I have bad eyes) and could output to my other screens (I have 2 external monitors, 1 to the display port the other to the HDMI port). So, I cannot talk about the aspect of running games. However, for Firefox I have prime-run all the time and it doesn't drain my batter any more than w/o. So, if I want to use the NVIDIA card, I just run with prime-run (got hot-keys for that). I did have the only NVIDIA set up (just because) and that worked fine, but the batter life was crap. However, I wanted a bit more bare bones system and just did Arch. Manjora was by far the easiest to use, and you can easily go to a later kernel w/ no issues (the current LTS meets my needs). Overall: Fedora didn't work well out of the box, nor do many others (just had to do some tweaks here and there, but was not as nice as arch). Before the Omen, I had a Victus (HP actually replaced w/ an Omen when the USB-C stopped working-bonus for me), but I found the experience with various distros the same. I had distro hopped a bit before settling on Arch (I use DWM and no display manager). ![]()
