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?

I’ve been playing around with Nobara. Coming from Fedora, I always felt like I didn’t have “everything I needed to run games properly”. Followed a few tutorials on YouTube to set up my Fedora (f36+) box for gaming but that feelining of incompleteness never left. Since installing Nobara, I’ve realized that my “feeling” was absolutely right! Nobara basically installed a bunch of other gaming things I never even knew I needed for basic gaming (codecs, other nvidia software, ProtonUp-QT, etc). Nice easy step through style setup. Using the KDE version and so far, I’m staying with Nobara. Just my opinion.
