I have just checked, and Aurora Linux does not offer support for any Nvidia card older than 16xx.

Looks like they used to, so they have removed the option.



Strange since Bazzite still has 900&1000 driver options.

Building your own is an option https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template


I am willing to try an image officially supported but definitely I am not building my own to run a computer for my mom given that w10 supports ends, don't have the spoons nor the time for that.

But I guess it is best to have the option that not to have it.


If this is related to the split in Mesa for "Gallium" and "non-Gallium" support, you could try installing the amber branch. Older nvidia video cards are still supported that way.

However, the only distro I could find where it actually worked was Chimera. Not the gaming-related ChimeraOS but the from-scratch LLVM-compiled all-static APK and Dinit distro with a hodgepodge userland ported from the BSDs.

It's rolling release though so it'll happily install the latest bugs. But it probably does that faster than any other distro.
