Ah, if "on the road" means plugging and unplugging external monitors, you've caught me in my "oh I should have thought of that" spot. I haven't had to do that

Ah, if "on the road" means plugging and unplugging external monitors, you've caught me in my "oh I should have thought of that" spot.
I haven't had to do that in a long while. I have a permanent desktop machine so my laptop is only for at coffee shops or working at a friend's place. I can certainly understand how hotplugging can be a disaster. Thankfully, I have noticed an improvement with that with Nvidia's more recent driver releases, even possibly as late as the ones resulting from their work with Steam.
Anyway, I've been running Wayland builds on and off for a month now, let's hope that paves the way for minimizing these problems even further.
- veemjeem 14y agoYou never have to plug in your laptop to do presentations or anything? I feel like I do that all the time... plus you never know what type of lcd projector they are using. Sometimes a guy comes and tries to help you, but when they notice you're running linux they sort of back off.
- w1ntermute 14y agoAre you using a proprietary graphics driver? With Intel graphics, none of these problems seem to pop up.
