My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

I've tried to install garuda last night, it didn't go so well. It's ironic that a debian ISO (bookworm) booted alright but the fancy arch-based garuda didn't... Downloaded the MATE edition, put it on a USB stick, booted the machine aaaaand... no GUI with the nouveau driver, black screen/reboot with the proprietary driver. Nouveau couldn't get my GPU to work, it's an RTX 4600. After an hour or so of fiddling with elinks and duckduckgo I gave up, guess that I should wait for a ISO with the new nvidia 535 driver.

I am sorry for your trouble. Yeah linux sometimes is very tricky. I am still learning my way through, it is way harder than people advertise, but the results are very cool (while they are working).
