Installing basic linux is harder, then completing my Skyrim mod collection.

And the Skyrim just works.

I have an old laptop with Nvidia drivers.

For some reasons, Arch based systems refuse to cooperate. But I was able to install Manjaro.

But my goal is to turn my laptop into a gaming machine. And I am not sure how to check the Nvidia drivers or to make some old PC games run on that thing, so I was trying the WineSapOS today. Aaaand I have fucked it up.

On KDE Manjaro, you can easily install Nvidia drivers via the Hardware Configuration menu in the System Settings. Don't know how this would work in other desktop environments. Haven't used anything besides KDE for a while.

As for setting up various PC games, Lutris.net should be your first stop, especially if they're older games.
For Epic Games and GoG, Heroic Launcher works really well.

There are various other tips and tricks when it comes to Linux gaming, but you should start with baby steps for now.
