My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear comrades opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

It's one of the window system on top of which gnome or other desktops run. But I misspoke there, what usually got messed up was the display manager, specifically lightdm.

But if everything is running fine I doubt you'll have any future issues. Just remember to check nvidia-smi in case of FPS drops to see if the game is using the GPU.

Thanks for the hint, I will take note.

Some people mentioned that the system defaults to the onboard GPU instead of the dedicated one, so it is good to learn this command.
