I have an old ASUS laptop with a 670M on Windows 7, any prayer the jump to Linux for drivers will be smooth? 🤞

I have an i914900KF desktop on windows 11 (I have to use it) and loathe the OS lol. Definitely wish there were programs for chopping down Windows 11 spyware crap.

with a 670M

Your GPU doesn't support latest drivers, and older drivers are a nuisance.

Unironically, the best bet for them is nvidia 540xx drivers on the AUR with an LTS kernel.

Nvidia's website returns me only 390 and 415 for 670M

I probably misremembered something then, 390xx it is then.

But whatever it may be it is in the AUR 100%.
