I never remember having issues running my nvidia cards in linux, it was just like windows, download drivers, install, and play.I like the look of default Arch desktop actually so no issue with the design at all
My L14 G2 is Intel Tiger Lake, my old was Coffee Lake with a MX150, my gamer is as you can see in my specs, and @VulkanBros I can see you rock a 4070 Ti how is your gaming with that in linux?
I heard NV cards could be a pain in the rear because NV drivers are close source and not open source. I do enjoy the RX 7000 series but because of energy effiency and performance of the RTX 4070 it went with it.
Then again, its been a hot minute since I used an nvidia card in linux.
IIRC the big reason was the reason most of us usually abandon ubuntu after awhile: they are SLOW on the uptake, getting new kernels and MESA updates was slower than hell. Ubuntu is still using 5.4 IIRC for stability, when 6.9.6 is out and has major performance improvements. Eventually they got tired of working around issues. Manjaro, being rolling release, has all the latest, and makes it SO much easier.Yeah, SteamOS was Debian, now it's Arch. That's pretty apparent to me, since I have way better success running games on Proton in Manjaro (Arch) vs Ubuntu (Debian). So far, running Manjaro has been a pretty dull experience, which is just how I like my OSes these days.
The software wasnt there, the price was silly, and IMO the biggest issue, they never sold the steambox case as a separate product. PC gamers like building, and those enthusiasts would have kept it alive far longer. Instead, it failed, and was resurrected later as a standalone product that did much better.steamOS on steam deck is amazing 10/10
on the 10 yr old one when they tried steam machines, pretty sure those flopped for a lot of reasons, but the software wasn't there yet
