    Oh is that why that happens? I just thought Nouveau drivers were incompatible with old Nvidia cards.

      Maybe they are lol, basically every distro exploded on that old rotbox at some point in a variety of fun ways before I could get something installed except Mint. Well anything Arch based would work too, just isn’t a PC that gets used often.

        I installed Cachy on a GTX980 PC, but had to use nomodeset, so if you wanna install some distros that are using incompatible drivers in the live ISO give nomodeset a try. After the install you can install the correct drivers (Cachy does it automatically).
