Man reading around these threads I'm glad I'm not on Nvidia lol
Man reading around these threads I'm glad I'm not on Nvidia lol
JThings are looking up for Nvidia
J600 is just hecking old
VI don't daily drive the 640M mac edition
Jlike 15 years old now?
VMy actual PC is a little more usable
J2012 Vintage so 12ish years ig
8hello everyone 
VI know for a fact I'm going to need to layer wifi hardware packages
NI actually had a 670. Man 2012? Now I feel old. Feels like a year ago
JFeel it
JBeen running windows 7 to get my sense of the world back in order
VOh! On to installing flatpaks now
JI am curious as to what will happen if the Nvidia driver doesn't load
Jmaybe it will just fallback regardless
MWe no longer blacklist nouveau so it should fallback.
VHow useless is nouveau going to be lmao
JXmoto is all the gaming you need
JThat said I haven't used it in ages but they at least were getting some 3D going reasonably ok at the time
JI think last time I used it the drivers were 2D only but I might be wrong
J
JNVE0 for 600 I think
Jlooks relateively complete
VOh yeah looks like it's gonna be nouveau
VSupported through 470 legacy driver
V
V
VI wonder what would actually work on here lol
J
JHardcore linux gaming like supertux and supertux kart
Jdo wonder how much runs on the steam/proton side of things over 10fps
VIn terms of distros, what would be best suited for this?
JI think arch has the legacy drivers in the aur but idk if it actually works
JWould probably want a distro with a long LTS that still manages to support it
Jbecause kernel updates are a gamble
VI might try debian on it
VI've run debian on it as a server and it mostly works
Jlooks semi-promissing
JDebian 12 is a hecking solid release and should be supported for a minute
VI probably won't be using this for too long, I just want to try a game on it
VDoes this driver even support vulkan?
JProbably not
JI mean it says Vulkan
Jbut I dunno if it's supported on kepler at all
JRandom reddit post mentions Vulkan on Kepler so theoretically possible
Jimagine it's the lowest spec on that
JOwners of Game Ready GeForce GTX GPUs can today play The Talos Principle using the newly-released low-level Vulkan graphics API.
J"NVIDIA has worked closely with the Khronos Group, the creators of Vulkan, throughout its development, and as of today all Kepler and Maxwell graphics card running Windows 7 or later, or Linux, are supported by Vulkan."
JStill got my doubts on modern Vulkan stuff but science
