I’ve seen stuff about Nvidia cards not working well with Linux, is that true?
If one was in the market for a new laptop anyway, would you recommend not getting nvidia and going with AMD?
I’m currently intrigued by the Lenovo LOQ line (full size numpad). Not buying anytime soon, just scoping out good brands and ideas.
*Primary role is laptop productivity, secondary role is maybe patient gaming, so I’m ok with budget gaming. Going Linux is not guaranteed, but maybe in the future because windows keeps getting more nuts. So I’m looking for info to make sure Linux is possible.
*I want this to last a long time, 10 years should be easy.
I am on a Thinkpad W530 with K2000M GPU. This one is well supported by the nouveau driver, more of an exception than the rule. Yes, I did researched the driver support before buying. The GPU switching works. One con: it’s heavy as fuck.
