You might have to compile your own kernel to get this to work.

It’s always that one firmware you need. Pure libre is only worth it for the ideologically pure, or if you just need a TTY.

I run a legacy NVIDIA graphics in my ten year old laptop. GeForce 750M. The proprietary drivers are faster and have real video acceleration but haven’t been updated in forever and don’t support Wayland.

Nouveau works okay. I haven’t gotten video acceleration to work yet, even with installed firmware. Nouveau-vulkan is a bit buggy.

Libre distro just means hunting down firmware packages to get things to work .

Keep living in the past old man.
