@Moon @Delphic mmm, and for here nvidia-driver is one of the only things i've personally seen introduce serious bugs on update even on a "well supported" machine (otherwise systemd and pulseaudio
-
@Delphic as long as that particular gpu is officially supported it ought to just work, I just found I had more problems with nvidia than AMD (which open sourced almost everything) or Intel (sadly no good for gaming)
-
@Moon oh so I take it, its a hit or miss thingwhether it works or not that is but does using an out-of-the-box distro like popos, garuda or fedora help? Cause they have either a seperate nvidia version or you just choose non-free/proprietary install instead of doing that yourself like normal arch or debian.
-
@Moon mind filling me in on your experience and why its been so?
-
@Delphic nvidia requires proprietary drivers and they're buggy so the community can't fix them
-
@Delphic a little worried it has nvidia graphics, some people have no trouble but I always have.

so uhmmm, howdy linux guys n gals, quick question.Is this a linux friendly laptop (or at least mostly), will drivers install (or be fairly easily install-able) and all that?Distros & DEs I'm mainly concerned about:KDE, Gnome and openbox, Arch or arch based, debian or debian based and fedora (everything else honestly not worried about and will figure out myself or just run under VM permanently if I can't figure out how to run on "bare metal")
