Most of this article seems unnecessary in 2025 and is very specific to Arch.

For most distributions you can simply install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and you're good to go.

There is generally no tweaking or command line changes necessary for Nvidia to work on Wayland, including multi-monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates.

My "gaming" laptop is completely effed on most distributions, and forces me to use Linux Mint to select an older driver (which also causes problems.)

I assume you have 2 GPUs and one is integrated?

Yes, the laptop screen works fine but my external monitor connected to my gpu seems to run at about 10 fps when it should be 120.
