My laptop has an integrated intel card, so it can play basic stuff (Doom, etc.) just fine, but my desktop pretty much turns anything gaming related into a slideshow, despite it having far better specs, since my current card requires proprietary drivers for proper performance. > > I did a bit of internet searching, but didn't find any results that looked relevant. This question pops from time to time. See here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-02/msg00212.html Due to promoting only free and libre software the problem with the hardware acceleration, video drivers and the binary BLOBS is not well documented. It's a separate discussion if and what should be described and documented. Best regards, zloster
