Partially related to [my previous post here](https://lemmy.zip/post/24457583), but instead of support this is more of a general question. (tl;dr: AntiX boots fine on the aforementioned laptop, while other distros need a custom kernel argument in order to boot, why does this happen?) While messing around and trying to get Linux to boot on my friend's laptop, I noticed that AntiX specifically booted without needing to mess with any kernel arguments (unlike Fedora [and forks], and presumably others too [I only checked Fedora-based distros since that's what I was trying to install]). What's different with AntiX compared to (at least) Fedora to where Fedora has issues booting while AntiX boots perfectly fine? I kinda want to guess that AntiX uses a different bootloader, but then why would a *kernel argument* be the thing that fixes Fedora?

I'll have to check this out next time I visit my friend
I tried to install Aurora on a friend's Acer laptop, but ran into [this issue](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1277405/problems-installing-ubuntu-on-acer-laptop) which was resolved in the same thread, and the temporary fix works the same. When I tried to modify the grub config to apply the permanent fix, /etc/default didn't hold anything relating to grub. Where is the config file for grub, and is it editable?

10, good…ish.
Windows 10 was never really good, its launch was very rocky. Most people just stockholmed their way into liking 10.

Turns out I just had to add something to the start of my username, and had nothing to do with security protocols.

I mean, technically you can install a disc drive onto your computer if you want.

I've already tried PEAP (didn't work), but I swear Linux Lite had a security option for EAP (which did work).

Protip: make sure to delete the "si=[gibberish]" part of shared YouTube links, it's a tracking ID (Share ID) to track the performance of said share link.
i just realised this reads like a copypasta, huh

It's not an Nvidia problem (no discrete gpu, already checked both Windows and Linux)
Edit: Somehow missed your edit, oops
Also I might try X11, just to see if anything changes.

All that seems to do is force the game into windowed mode and cause heavy artifacting (using gamescope -f doesn't show the game at all, but it still seems to be running in the background).

Ah, so the issue isn't VRR then.

Yea, had to live-boot and figure out where Fedora stores the root filesystem so I could chroot in and uninstall the drivers from there.

How do I disable that? KDE's settings doesn't seem to have anything about VRR (searching for it leads me to the display setings, but there's nothing mentioning VRR there either).

Some laptops come in different configurations so looking up specs may be confusing or misleading.
Turns out it really is, huh.

The command inxi -G should list display drivers.
inxi only seems to see the integrated graphics, weird. I'm starting to doubt that her laptop even has a discrete Nvidia card inside...
