Hello, comrades. I come to you seeking help. Recently, my young sister decides she would like to install Linux. Good brother that I am, I want to help her.

Here’s the kicker. Her PC has a GTX 770. The newest driver for such a card is #470 according to Ubuntu-derived systems. Alas, almost every “normal person” distro uses Wayland now, and Wayland doesn’t support such an old driver. I am not going to install Arch on a 10-year-old’s PC, btw.

What are some good distros I can install on her PC so that neither I nor her have to have a headache getting Wayland out and X11 in?

Thank you, friends.

    There is the plan to remove the X11 gnome session in a coming release. Not sure if it is the next and as far as I know, this will not affect KDE (for now).
