I tried my 1060 with Debian, Ubuntu and Mint. Didn’t get it to run (stable) with the Nvidia drivers. And it will only get worse from here (especially with wayland) because the driver version for these cards is no longer maintained.

If found an article* about arch and Nvidia with a few things I haven’t tried. I’ll give it another try. But I have no hopes on getting it to run stable.

by this time it probably would be easier to remove all the intel hardware support code
