Hey everyone! I've been trying to install Linux on my laptop for about a week now, but I've had very limited success with various distros. My laptop has an onboard Intel GPU and a separate Nvidia card, which seems to complicate things. I've tried several distributions, including Pop OS, which seemed stable at first, but I can't get good performance in Blender, which is essential for my graphics work. I'm really enjoying the Linux environment and want to fully transition, but I feel pretty overwhelmed and am considering just reinstalling Windows 11. If anyone has tips or detailed steps on how I can resolve these issues, I would really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Have you tried installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers with the distros you attempted? Also, which specific ones have you used so far?
I've tried Debian, Manjaro, Kubuntu, Mint, Fedora, and Pop. I did my best to install the Nvidia drivers, but I often faced freezes that forced me to shut down manually. One common error I encountered was related to the GPU progress.
