On my old nvidia laptop with Endeavouros i have some minor lag from time to time, nothing too crazy. But there are a couple of things i can’t make work. For start i can’t lower the gamma with xrandr, wlr-randr should work but my nvidia give me the middle finger. Secondly i can’t, for the love of me, find a decent onscreen keyboard app to use. I can technically enable the touchscreen keyboard in my desktop adding KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1 but is just too bothersome to have it pop-out everywhere. Also, while most of the app-images works, last time i’ve tried running this one https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer it crashed 9 times out of 10. All of this works just fine on x11.


Maybe ill check niri next. Any good distro to test it with?



….more like a gifted old laptop, but yeah.



Try waterfox browser with adblocks. On linux one of the more heavy thing is the desktop manager, so maybe avoid gnome distros, cinammon is also a little bit heavy. If you want to go barebone there are many lightweight distros . Remember that you can run the distro from the bootable usb. Before install anything use the browser and check some video on youtube in full hd or even 4k.
