    Yeah, Arch (and derivatives) and Fedora are well supported. I did a lot of the kernel platform support and regression testing for the project & the AMD kernel folks while we were getting support ironed out for the 5000 and 6000 series models.

    Fedora has good support because that’s what Luke uses for his daily driver machines and Dragonn & others put together the Arch packaging. Those two distros (plus Endeavor and other Arch derivatives) are widely used.

      Woah, you were involved in the project! That’s really cool. I’ve had Garuda on my mind for a while, and earlier today I was able to boot it off the live USB with NVIDIA proprietary drivers. That’s a really good sign for me, so I think I’m gonna go for it once I’ve backed things up.

        Hybrid Nvidia support should work fine these days. I’ve been using hybrid amd/nvidia machines since about 2020 without too many issues. You’ll need nvidia-dkms, supergfxctl and asusctl and things should mostly just work otherwise.

          I’ve been using those on my Fedora install without a hitch. I think I’m gonna go for the Garuda install today after I finish backing things up. Excited!
