Why is Linux still such shit? It's almost 2016, 23 something years after it was born, and popular distros like Fedora still don't support laptops "Nvidia Optimus." So depressing.
>>
This is what happens when you take Linux shitposters seriously. Hope you learned your lesson.

Fedora is 100% different than Arch. Maybe you should keep distro hopping instead of doing 5 minutes worth of reading fix the problem dumbass?

kill yourself retard

It never works.

It probably came with the "freetard driver", which means it will be "shit". Install the "proprietary driver", and it will work for "Nvidia Optimus"

If there are so many guides to do a "thing" why isn't that thing working by default for over like 5 years now? Is that the power of open source community?
>>
>>52140490
Probably because the proper driver to have that setup is closed source and they chose to use the open source one by default.
>>
>>52140623
That doesn't work as well?

Why you're buying Nvidia in the first place?

Unfortunately it's not idiot proof

Especially considering how easy it is! If it's made after 2009 and has a dedicated GPU it won't just werk on Linux, ever!
>>
>>52140826
again, that is the whole problem

yeah.

lunix can't compete with the compatability for all of the commercial products, this is expected, fanboys should just accept it.

I thought she was 28? 3.33 was 14 years after 2.22


However, Rebuild Asuka is inferior to NGE amd EoE Asuka so please get better taste.

It's not compatible with commercial products as opposed to what? Free products?

Shit, where do I get a free laptop that works with Linux?

This is why nobody uses linux for everyday stuff (not even b8ing, this is coming from someone who does use linux, since I need it for work unfortunately).
>>
What anti-virus does everyone use?

I only use Malwarebytes but that wouldn't detect adware would it?
>>
30% of Windows installs and updates fail & cause errors

>>52141307
for all the commercial products. Linux even works well on most of the mainstream hardware, but a smaller workforce of volunteers can't react to all the details the entire commercial market creates.
linux has difficulty to support EVERY device, but in the end, this is meaningless.
>>
>>52141369
Help, please.
>>
>>52143050
Use Malwarebytes and Avast
>>
>>52143050
Malwarebytes is for detecting and removing malware and other malicious files in your system. Avast prevents more from getting into your system.
>>
>>52141369
it would, there is no longer much of a distinguishing between adware, spyware, malware so as long as it isn't under their radar, adware would also be removed
>>

How the fuck can Loonix Cucks make fun of windows? This shit is worse, Windows at least has the decency to give you an error name.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
>>
People don't use gnu/linux because it is better.
People use it because it is free.

It is like buying organic food, it doesn't always taste better but the placebo feeling of it makes the customer feel good about the purchase and that is enough for most people.

Look at the column headers.
You don't have bad eyes, you're just lazy.

It is at least easier to setup compare to bumblebee. The only downside is you have to logout everytime you change cards.
