I have an old ASUS laptop with a 670M on Windows 7, any prayer the jump to Linux for drivers will be smooth? 🤞

I have an i914900KF desktop on windows 11 (I have to use it) and loathe the OS lol. Definitely wish there were programs for chopping down Windows 11 spyware crap.

Your GPU doesn’t support latest drivers, and older drivers are a nuisance.

Unironically, the best bet for them is nvidia 540xx drivers on the AUR with an LTS kernel.

Nvidia’s website returns me only 390 and 415 for 670M

Rest of the system should work with iGPU, if you aren’t interested in heavy gaming you can use Linux just fine.
