Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Question: Is buying a Laptop with a Nvidia graphic card is bad idea for Linux(XFCE user)?

    [–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

    Yes, IMO. If you haven't bought the hardware yet, there's no reason to subject yourself to the headache of lacking Linux support, instead support companies that value open source.
    AMD and Intel GPU's simply work out of the box with all features.

    And it's not like on a laptop you need the highest of high end graphics acceleration anyway.

    I use the integrated graphics of my Ryzen 9 7940HS and they're more than enough for all workloads. Light weight gaming also works pretty well on it.
