Anyone using a thinkpad t430 with nvidia 390 drivers? - Lemmy.world

Hey Im new to the linux world and I was planning to give popos a try on my trusty t430 but heard it doesnt play nice with the dedicated gpu, the NVS-5400M. I was wondering if theres any weight to that claim or has that been blown out of proportion? I guess using integrated graphics or nouveau might be a workaround but I would like to avoid those options if possible.

I would just try the nouveau driver and see how it works.

I have been using the open source driver for my 1060, and it works just fine if you just need a display device, it’s not like the GPU is useful on the old cards.

Yeah youre right I honestly just want to connect to an external display without any artifacts or glitches but I’ll use nouveau and test it out. Appreciate the feedback
