  • I am able to get mine running on Kubuntu. I have a Lenovo legion s7 slim laptop with a mobile 3060 GPU. I would not choose Nvidia if I could (can’t afford to replace my laptop), but it is possible in theory to get them working, just finicky. From my understanding it has become a lot better in recent history though. Nvidia says the latest drivers (I think the version is like 580) is compatible with pretty much all modern Nividia GPUs (so like 3xxx series and up).


  • Yeah that is me 😢 it’s not a fun existence, bought my laptop when I still used windows and don’t have the money to get one without Nvidia GPU. It is working (right now), but I just got over having to nuke my install because trying to fix issues with it recently caused issues with other drivers for some reason.


  • From my understanding of the way the android OS works, alternative OSs can’t really just become there on OSs because the would essentially have to replace the entire Linux kernel that Google currently uses, and no phone manufacturer as far as I know releases the drivers for their peripherals either. The first part I think would in theory be solvable, the latter would take a change in the way the phone ecosystem operates. Realistically for the latter to happen, I think we would essentially have to see certain phone manufacturers pop up who are willing to basically create an open platform with a driver offering and that would have to be the target.
