From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Easiest Laptop GPU (NixOS or arch) for NixOS or Arch - 2023 (lemmy.ml)

These days I was wondering what laptop GPU would be the easiest to maintain / simplest to configure from a laptop POV?

Considering NixOS (I see Nix as gentoo++) or arch.

Onboard Intel/amd? “Discrete” Intel/amd/nvidia?

Would prefer open source but am not Uber passionate (results > means).

Fictional use case is mid tier game development - ray tracing is nice but stability and minimal effort to keep stable while pushing decent amounts shader/polygons is more important vs peak perf/px. No bitbro / artificial guess.

Experiences & recommendos?
