Every laptop is a linux laptop if you stay away from nvidia and get last year's hardware.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agohonestly since 20.04 ubuntu or so, nvidia works pretty well on linux (other than battery life on laptops which is still not good).
- aidenn0 5y agoIf all you need is a framebuffer, nvidia is fine. However I regularly run into 3d applications that either only run (either at all, or without significant artifacts) with nouveau or only run with the nvidia binary drivers. I reboot fairly regularly just to switch between the two.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agohuh, that hasn't been my experience at all. I don't play a ton of demanding games, but pretty much everything I have played (on 1440p monitor, RTX 2060) is capable of hitting framecaps.
- aidenn0 5y agoMaybe my card is to old? 1050Ti
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agoI'd expect that to be pretty good at 1080p. No idea what's going wrong.
- aidenn0 5y ago1200p, but I don't run anything demanding. Some games lock-up with binary drivers, others crash nouveau and compositing window-managers have different artifiacts with either oen.
- encryptluks2 5y agoAgain, no issues on Arch. People running other distros may have issues due to slower package and kernel updates.
