Distro Suggestions

3 years ago by moonsnotreal to c/linux_gaming

Hi,

I have a Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3i with a gtx 1650, and I would like to find a more lightweight distro than PopOS that supports (or is easier to set up) nvidia optimus graphics. Any suggestions?

Have you thought about Garuda Linux. It's a Arch based linux distro with good setup for gaming in mind.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.
