[Solved] Sorry if this not related to this community because I don't know where to ask, but should I buy this laptop? and does it play nice with Linux.
No consequences here. I’m perfectly happy continuing on using AMD.
Sure - and you're limited to systems that use an AMD chip. Consequences. I'm sure you justify this to yourself though.
Why do you think AMD always work out of the box and people constantly have problems with Nvidia? Is it because they’re “ignorant” or because it’s unnecessarily convoluted?
I don't think - I know. Because one is integrated with the kernel and built and distributed with it and the other is a separate module. This isn't something unique to nvidia either - my system has modules from system76 as well as v4l2loopback that are also compiled separately.
But since I install my packages using "apt" they are all managed by dkms and I don't need to worry about it. Because I took a few minutes to learn about how my computer works.
