EDIT: Thank you for all tips, it has been solved. The solution was to reinstall nvidia drivers, reboot, and force umu proton for the game. pls share, so others can solve it more quickly

no, Garuda doesn’t have this by default, i had to set up prime

i had to reinstall nvidia drivers, no need to recompile the kernel. if you are thinking about mkinitcpio -P, that is not allowed in Garuda

i solved it by creating a symlink with prime-run steam, which i heard forces the use of dedicated gpu

It says latest gpu setup attempt failed at Xorg pre-start hook Here is the log:

Different distros ship updates in different pace and optimized for various use cases

Make sure you choose an arch-based distro, you need the latest features, fixes for nvidia. I dualboot garuda and windows 11, and garuda has better performance on a slower ssd. They recently released a new major release

Anything is high end compared to my gtx 1650

Depends on your workload. If you watch movies and game, ultrawide. If you do streaming or web development, dual monitor is like a must. Oled and hdr are also supported, stable on kde and gnome, experimental on xfce. Dual monitor is supported by these, plus cinnamon, mate, lxqt, budgie, pantheon and many window managers. I myself use a 15" laptop bc im poor

Wanna see how you git clone and compile it on ios

9070 is high-end

The kernel supports it already? That’s fast

displayport is dtill there hopefully

btw it is pretty hard to launch on modern systems, as it was made with Windows Vista and 7 in mind

great game, i can recommend it. Altrough it is very short, almost anybody can finish it in 3 hours or less. All early Fallout games (1-2-3, maybe even New Vegas with compromises) would run. Far Cry 3 on 720p low, Far Cry 1 and 2 would run well. Crysis 1, 2 too. Sleeping Dogs 720p low. Minecraft too if opengl 4.5 is aviable. Resident Evil 5, Half Life 1-2, Alien Isolation 720p low, CS Source, CS 1.6, Tomb Raider 720p low. maybe these would work and worth trying. Generally, most games made before 2010 should run. The weakest part is the gpu, the strongest is the RAM

these computers with linux are good as lightweight servers, not really for gaming

the 2008 Mirror’s Edge might run with 30 fps

don’t use it. It is totally left without support nowadays. They are developing COSMIC, a new Wayland desktop enviroment and Pop OS is abandoned. System 76 pcs support other distros too. You need something based on Fedora Atomic or Arch

which distro is it? there are many that were not made with gaming in mind
