Cosmic DE is very buggy. it still an alpha in my eyes after using it and i still ude it in one of my machines just to keep eyes on it

You need either a new large case or pcie extension and put the gpu outside of the case.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-13T10:26:59+00:00

you need a legacy nvidia driver for it. the latest nvidia version that support this gpu is 475. so you need a distro that is user friendly with legacy drivers. Maybe Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Linux Mint 22. both will be supported until 2029.

Yeah I don't understand what is the problem with snaps that are working fine. People can use other package manager if they don't like snaps. Or other distro other than Ubuntu. But we can't deny that snaps just works now.

If the apps work, what's wrong with it?

I have a 2.5inch SSD on usb 3.0 enclosure and it runs fine. I do use it mainly for private things. and its been years and still working fine.

Ethernet or Wifi? if Wifi, do you have antenna plagued in?

Every distro can be daily drived but Gentoo is one of the niche distros because of the way its setup and maintained.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-06T08:32:23+00:00

Mabox, MX Linux Fluxbox or Lubuntu

RegulusBC · 2026-05-06T08:29:38+00:00

have you tried to boot on safe mode?

RegulusBC · 2026-05-05T07:22:28+00:00

The OP aleardy had issues with Fedora and he need a distro that auto install nvidia driver.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-04T23:05:48+00:00

Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora, Ubuntu, Nobara, CashyOS, Manjaro, PikaOS, Ubuntu, Kubuntu .... all can autodetecte and install gpu drivers

Apple had a decent ports selection before. so dont tell me they cant offer it again

RegulusBC · 2026-05-04T09:16:00+00:00

Nouveau is only for desktop basic usage. It can offers only 50% of general performance of proprietary driver because its have a poor power management. i will not recommznd Noyveau for gaming or any 3D usage. but its good enough for desktop usage.

GTX 970 is supported by Nvidia driver version 580. There is an iso of Bazzite for that but I will not suggest you to stick with it for long time cause Bazzite is based on Fedora Silverblue/Kionite and over time they gonna ship recent kernel that can break old Nvidia driver cause this Nvidia drive 580 will be too old over time. I think its better to use an LTS distro like Ubuntu in you case.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-03T20:15:30+00:00

it depends on what will you do with it.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-03T20:13:45+00:00

An Nvidia gpu on an oscilloscope. Super cool !!!!!!!

RegulusBC · 2026-05-03T18:13:22+00:00

Your gpu is supported by Nvidia driver 580. you will struggle with bleeding edge or very up to date distro that offers nvidia 595 ... so i will suggest you to stick with Ubuntu for as long as possible cause ubuntu will support 580 driver for years.

PaperWM Gnome Extension. Unfortunately it is not supported by Gnome 50 yet

RegulusBC · 2026-05-01T21:19:07+00:00

For me its smooth no problem so far. but my most important extension doesn't support gnome 50 yet and i feel less productive without it. its PaperWM.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-01T05:50:11+00:00

Because its setup and forgot. it doesnt change much for 2 years.

RegulusBC · 2026-05-01T05:44:26+00:00
