Wish me luck. I'm a little unsure if it'll work well. I have an ancient GPU (Nvidia GTX 970) and hope it'll be compatable.

Processor		AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core (12 CPUs) Processor 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM		32.0 GB
Graphics Card		NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB) (actually 3.5GB due to hardware defect)
BaseBoard Manufacturer	ASRock
BaseBoard Product	AB350 Pro4

This system is getting old; nearly a decade here. Pretty soon I have to start thinking about upgrading. At a minimum, I should try and upgrade the video card when I can.

It works on win10. Funny I have a lenovo t490, running bazzite and I have their lenovo dock 2 and I can dock the laptop and it connects to both monitors and its internal display. The difference is the laptop is running Gnome instead of KDE.

Wouldn't the other main difference be your t490 isn't running nvidia?

Try running journalctl -b --grep "wayland" and see if anything interesting comes up... Doubt I can help you actually solve this though. It could also be a KDE bug with Nvidia.

Well, yes, that's a pretty huge difference. It's fine, I'm ditching these cards after chatting with people here and upgrading to the current low end AMD card.

Hmm, maybe it's a KDE bug then....
