My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear comrades opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

Thanks, comrade. The system recognized my Nvidia 1060, hopefully It will run fine.

What's X server? is it related to X11 thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@caboclo @AlbigensianGhoul yep, the x server is one half of x11. Though Wayland will replace both of them any day now...

Should I look into replacing it already with Wayland?

@caboclo depends. There is still a good amount of issues that make it a lot harder to get to work. It is the future though.

It's one of the window system on top of which gnome or other desktops run. But I misspoke there, what usually got messed up was the display manager, specifically lightdm.

But if everything is running fine I doubt you'll have any future issues. Just remember to check nvidia-smi in case of FPS drops to see if the game is using the GPU.

Thanks for the hint, I will take note.

Some people mentioned that the system defaults to the onboard GPU instead of the dedicated one, so it is good to learn this command.
