Hi everyone. It has been a while since I started using Linux, so I got at least a nice amount of knowledge on Linux and shell but I can be considered as new when it comes to Nix. I am learning Nix and I have learned enough to move to flakes and set up a very basic home manager configuration but my setup is probably really weird compared to NixOS masters. The problem is my laptop shuts itself down in heavy tasks like gaming (My laptop is trash lol). I assume this is because of overheating because the heat goes really up whenever this happens. Do you guys have any solutions to that? And my second problem is I don’t really know how to set up drivers on NixOS but I can tell something is wrong about my gpu drivers. My gpu is AMD Radeon 610M [Integrated] (its pretty trash yeah but its a school laptop) and I want to set up drivers and be able to play games with Proton (So I gotta enable this 32bit thing as well). My cpu is AMD Ryzen 3 7320U (8) @ 4.15 GHz and I have no idea if my cpu needs extra drivers. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for reading
the first issue is familiar to me as my first laptop had this issue, while running Windows XP. the fans were going out and simply couldn’t move enough heat. the solution then that mostly worked was one of those laptop stands with fans built in. it worked most of the time, but a real solution might mean cleaning out the chassis and maybe replacing the fans.
for the second, i didn’t really have trouble setting up the Nvidia drivers just following the docs. sorry if that isn’t helpful; i’m stuck with Nvidia for my ML/CUDA stuff.
