are you talking about this?

modest gazelle Feb 15, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

ok so how to do it?

normal swift Feb 15, 2025, 12:31 PM

#

missing options for hybrid graphics? want to use nvidia gpu instead of integrated amd?

#

if this is a desktop then just disable igpu and make your life easier

#

ok its laptop nevermind

modest gazelle Feb 15, 2025, 12:37 PM

#

is this about?

#

if so, in the first one there is an image but when I click something it crashes and in the second one there is a black screen in the goggles although in the preview everything works

drivers belong in museum 🙂

ancient wing Feb 15, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

not even sure if you won't have nvenc errors because of api changes

normal swift Feb 15, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

that card is still supported with newest drivers, no need to run jurassic linux here

modest gazelle Feb 15, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

ok so there is a mistake here? what version will be the best?

normal swift Feb 15, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

its not a mistake

#

but its also really hard for us to not say "lol linux mint, y u no use arch based?"

#

yeah but still it would be linux mint

#

not recommended for gaming

#

you can get it to work with 3rd party stuff

#

easier to just use a good modern distro

#

its just as easy to use endeavour os or cachyos, nice installer - i would not recommend mint to people that want to do gaming

modest gazelle Feb 15, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

yes i am new in linux

normal swift Feb 15, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

vr and gaming definitely want latest stuff

#

and even then gonna have problems

#

if you have been using system for long time then wiping it is obviously a big problem

#

if not then easy to just install endeavouros/cachyos - basically same process as how you did the mint install, flash iso to usb stick, boot it, click next next next
