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.

@LukeAlmighty I kind of blame it on how awful and stingy nvidia is with its drivers. if you really want to play around with nvidia drivers in linux i'd bite the bullet and go with ubuntu or a gaming-based ubuntu fork. or steamOS.

Yes.
Because trying to brickify your main PC first would be dumb.

@LukeAlmighty no i mean gaming laptops are just terrible in general, i wouldn't trust it to do much of anything much less install linux

@Nelenese
Yeah... Well, laptops in general are terrible. But that is the MAIN reason, why I wanted to put linux there.

Even if I fail to make it into a gaming machine, at lease, it won't get stuck on random 6h long system update. (Windows updates kan kill a laptop for a few days, if they were offline for months.)
