They’re such fuckers. If you ever use Linux (or better yet, have used Linux in the past where Nvidia was a nightmare to get working) you’ll hate them even more. Intel and AMD are literally plug-n-play. Nvidia? Prepare for a ton of shit to come your way.
Cause the last time I tried to put linux on it (admittedly this was like…6 years ago), it was an absolute fucking nightmare… 75% of the reason being the goddamn graphics card, and 25% of the reason being piss poor power management that ruined my battery after a week of trying to get it to work before giving up.
its also why my desktop is all AMD, just for the lack of headache with linux. Don’t even have to do any driver purges or reformats when I changed cards.
but with Windows 10 getting ended soon, I guess I’m gonna have to roll the dice again and see how far nvidia support has come because I’ll rather be fucked by a elephant than use 11.
Yup. I got a laptop from a friend with an Nvidia/Intel hybrid graphics and it was an absolute nightmare on Linux until I install pop os on it. They have somehow got it working with no issues. So, if you’re coming over, try pop os on that laptop and see.

Its why my laptop is still on windows 10
