Hi,

I have a Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3i with a gtx 1650, and I would like to find a more lightweight distro than PopOS that supports (or is easier to set up) nvidia optimus graphics. Any suggestions?

Linux Mint Debian Edition is very lightweight and easy to use.

Isn’t that a streaming one, though? I tend to go for mint XFCE.

Try one of the lightweight Ubuntu distros: Lubuntu or Xubuntu.

It’s a little more of a setup but you could try endeavour. It’s pretty lightweight and performant, they have every kind of DE imaginable to install during the setup.

I had a good experiences with nobrara. For non gamers it is a bit bloated, but everything worked out of the box or after just one reboot. https://nobaraproject.org/

If you want lightweight, void is pretty good. Not sure about nvidia though.
