Wish I could play games on Linux, but for some fucking reason I can't figure out my gaming laptop with Nvidia 1660ti will not work properly with most games. If I ever can afford a new computer I'm probably going with AMD instead tbh.
- What's the output of nvidia-smi? If it's a newer laptop you might need to add a machine owner key so that secureboot will allow the required dynamic kernel modules to load. In debian the module will be signed with the dkms signing key, adding it as a MOK is fairly simple. https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#Making_DKMS_modules_signing_by_DKMS_signing_key_usable_with_the_secure_boot
  *Try disabling secureboot first, if things start working re-enable it and follow the advice above.
  
  Good advice? In a meme thread? It's more likely than you think.
  
  While it's great that your helping them ..
  This answer is exactly WHY Linux isn't desktop/gamer ready yet. At least for the masses.
  
  This answer makes me think back to when I started using Linux and I posted on IRC that my wifi wasn't working. Somebody then gave me source code and a makefile and walked me through recompiling the drivers and installing them and it worked.
  Linux users online can be the most helpful people around.
  
  Oh absolutely.
- what distro are you using? I never had any issues on my nvidia build with nobara
- Optimus? Because Optimus is an absolute bastard. It's improved and I've had some luck, but it's painful.
- If your game run terribly on Wayland, try running in on X11, and vice-versa.
- I know this is quite unprompted, but did you install correct video drivers? You gotta install proprietary nvidia drivers and its 32-bit libraries instead of nouveau
