I won't go over the specs again. The thing is I was able to install Arch Linux without any hiccups with the Nvidia driver(s).
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings did it for me.
I was a little skeptical at first which is the reason I pulled the Mint drive out & installed Arch on another drive. Turns out, I was worried about nothing.
Super excited & pleased with the Lenovo running Arch.
I must confess that I had contemplated (for a skinny moment) installing MxLinux instead of Arch.
A very skinny moment.
Thanks for watching, any questions, please ask in the comments.
