Does Nvidia play better now with linux? I run a 14 yr old laptop (Asus k40in) but it’s got Nvidia graphics, and it didn’t work well last time I tried Linux on it. (several years ago now)
It’s on 24/7, running win10 now and does ok, but I mainly use it for my yard cameras and light surfing when my main pc is busy doing other things.
The current official Nvidia drivers seem to be pretty solid. AFAIK, they’re not great at supporting older product generations, though. The open source drivers might work better, but that’s definitely something you should find out before doing the installation.

I think that if you use the open source NVIDIA (Nouveau) drivers it works out of the box with no performance drawbacks in the context of old GPUs
