		fadedsignal 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I maintain a 17 year old ThinkPad That sucks. I remember buying my XPS when the new version released and tried to install Linux (Fedora). Nvidia driver issues, CPU E/P core issues, and many more. It literally took 2 years to get stable. Recently, Nvidia released a new version of the driver. Guess what happened? PC doesn't wake up from sleep anymore. I'm not even mentioning the so-called 8-hour battery life.

It's real pity that is the only upside of an AMD GPU.
