  • I get what you are saying but at the same time I have a MSI laptop that I bought in 2020. It has a nvidia video card.

    Bloody thing was always a pain in the arse. I couldn’t plug the HDMI to the TV and get it working straight away.

    Everytime I wanted to play on my TV I had to plug the HDMI, go to the device management, uninstall intel video drivers, same with the nvidia drivers then reinstall first the nvidia driver then the intel one.

    And that only worked until I turned the PC or it went into hibernation.

    Now that it’s running on Win11, no amount of driver reinstall can get it to work. It’s laptop screen or bust.

    With Linux I just plug the HDMI in and it works. The only limitation is that I can’t get it to work with 4K60, as it should. It only works with 1080p30.

    But I guess I can’t always win…


  • This is the most accurate answer. I have found Nobara to be everything I could ask for gaming.

    I might add that, if he also wants a normal desktop experience, separate from gaming, he should consider trying Zorin or Mint.

    Iirc, Zorin comes with nvidia/amd drivers already installed and the experience is close enough to Windows that he might stay on Linux.











  • The problem seems to come from Windows. However, what you can do is open a terminal then type :

    sudo os-prober

    sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

    Try to reboot and see what happens. If it doesn’t fix anything, then it might be that your Windows SSD should be mounted directly on the motherboard or, at the very least, on a USB-C port.

    Sometimes, what happens is that the hub needs a driver which isn’t loaded by the DOS kernel by default. And since it isn’t loaded, Windows can’t recognise the hub so the hard drive containing itself can’t be found.

    If that solution works, maybe you should swap your windows and your linux SSDs, see if the linux kernel can figure out the hub at boot.
