Hello, comrades. I come to you seeking help. Recently, my young sister decides she would like to install Linux. Good brother that I am, I want to help her.
Here’s the kicker. Her PC has a GTX 770. The newest driver for such a card is #470 according to Ubuntu-derived systems. Alas, almost every “normal person” distro uses Wayland now, and Wayland doesn’t support such an old driver. I am not going to install Arch on a 10-year-old’s PC, btw.
What are some good distros I can install on her PC so that neither I nor her have to have a headache getting Wayland out and X11 in?
Thank you, friends.
Does Wayland/that card work with Nouveau drivers? I haven’t played with them in a long time, primarily due to their performance, but if your sister is still rocking a GTX 770, performance is likely not her primary concern
Doesn’t work, as evidenced by the 18 fps she got in MC.
