How to find a better driver for a webcam with a terrible quality?

[benborn1]

Hi,
"USB cameras are definitely 'pot luck', depending on the chipset used."

I think you must be right.
I have a Logitech like that one. I can't remember the exact model name. May be 920. There is an SN on a tag attached to the wire but It didn 't work for long. I bought it may be 7-8 years ago, around €70 from memory. (I'm French)
Time passes. I kept it in a drawer for years, hoping it will work again one day. I plugged it into several computers, never detected. I'm finally going to put it in the recycling ! it's time.

The cam of my All In One under Linux Mint is not great but so, I have a decent cam on my laptop.

Good day to you, I want to be able to play high-quality games like FIFA and Call of Duty with my friends, so I'm looking at the newest gaming laptops that have powerful processors and long-lasting batteries. Any advice you could provide me would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums @benborn1

I will ask the mods to move this to a new thread in Linux hardware forum, in the interim take a look at

New users often wonder if their hardware will work with Linux. This article will help you find out if your hardware will work with Linux.

The site mentions a hardware probe and has a URL. So, you can also try searching for the model you're intending to buy at that linked site. Someone may have already tested it.

That depends on how much money you want to spend - do you want Linux preinstalled? Have a look here - https://system76.com/laptops/oryx#specs - price is around 2000$ US
