I wanted to dip my toes into linux by trying it on my previous machine, which unfortunately has an NVIDIA GTX 670 GPU.

I tried Nobara and loved the look and feel. But unfortunately the GPU isn’t officially supported. I tried to install the NVIDIA driver using this guide: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/ but that resulted in a system that won’t boot.

Can you recommend a distro that works out of the box or at least let’s me install the proprietary driver without issue?

    That would be an Intel i5-3570, 8 Gigs of RAM, no SSD because I cannibalized it.

    I tried Factorio with Nouveau and it couldn’t even give me a decent Framerate on an empty map. Not sure if the driver doesn’t like that card or I did something wrong.
