Yeah, that's true I suppose. I was just hoping there was a bit more mature, "this chipset is unsupported because of this" sort of thing now.
I would say boot from live USB but your experience will be poor without the nvidia bull
I would boot Pop os as it has special nvidia iso
Solid advice, thanks. Been meaning to try pop os anyway.
I struggled getting my optimus laptop(hybrid graphics Intel/nvidia) working properly.
They key was disabling secure boot which meant the kernel modules could be loaded
I think this causes a bunch of problems
If it's a Thinkpad then archwiki and thinkwiki both are great resources for all features support status.
Otherwise https://linux-hardware.org/
It's not, it's Lenovo Legion, part of their gaming line. I'll take a look at that anyway, maybe there is some crossover.
This site could also be useful for checking on Linux compatibility: https://linux-hardware.org/
Edit: missed that it was posted before. Sorry for the noise😊
