Hello, comrades. I come to you seeking help. Recently, my young sister decides she would like to install Linux. Good brother that I am, I want to help her.
Here’s the kicker. Her PC has a GTX 770. The newest driver for such a card is #470 according to Ubuntu-derived systems. Alas, almost every “normal person” distro uses Wayland now, and Wayland doesn’t support such an old driver. I am not going to install Arch on a 10-year-old’s PC, btw.
What are some good distros I can install on her PC so that neither I nor her have to have a headache getting Wayland out and X11 in?
Thank you, friends.
OpenSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed have nVidia drivers right from nvidias own repo. it still works with my 2013 ish K2000 CAD card
