Nvidia optimus is an absolute clusterfuck, even with 477 drivers, if you have multi DPI displays.
If I close my laptop lid it activates airplane mode on gnome and do nothing on other distros.
I've tried every kernel on earth and nothing fixes it out of the box. I've had to remap airplane mode to sleep to have an acceptable experience.
After a week of struggle, this laptop is back on Windows 10, where everything works perfectly. Although I still use linux on my older laptop.
- gbtw 5y agoWas it a HP by any chance. I got a Zbook and its the first laptop in more than a decade i can't get to work with linux. Starting 20 or so docker containers with docker compose kills something and makes it freeze / lock up. I didn't think it was hard not to be compatible i suppose HP tried their best.
- arepublicadoceu 5y agoYeap, HP Pavillion. Unfortunaly, I can't justify buying another laptop just to use Linux when everything works great on Windows.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoPavillon no-good. Elitebook better. Booted one minimal Debian-derivative (without SystemD!1!!) from USB-keychain into RAM 124 days ago. Still running, no reboots, but no suspends/resume either. Though it's ancient. But all Intel-components, and working flawlessly with LTS-kernels.
