Re: [LUG] Best Linux distro for Nvidia cards

 

So many contradictions i dont know where to start, lightweight and kde.
I have used all the above systems with nvidia cards and never had an issue installing the drivers for 3D. I used Debian but now mint for my main gaming system on my beaten up old system, everything works perfectly until i start nessing around. Mint even has a program for installing 3D drivers.
Perhaps you could expand upon what issues you are getting while installing 3D drivers.

hey guys

i having issues installing linux on my msi cr700 laptop.

so far i have tried crunchbang, linux mint, openSUSE (my custom
version). i know i have had problems in the past with ubuntu so im not
gonna try that, also not willing to try Debian because since ubuntu is
based on it i think it would have the same issues.

laptop specs are

Intel celeron dual core t3300 @ 2.00GHz
4GB DDRII Ram
Nvidia GeForce 8200M G

distro must be light-weight (as i plan to use it to build android on
it), have wine compatibility and either KDE or Gnome environment
(gnome perfered)

cheers and thanks for reading/helping
