    Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

    Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

      Ehhh it’s not as bad as it used to be. Depending on the distro you might have some finagling to install it to begin with but otherwise their drivers tend to be fine.

      It is however much nicer when you can just boot up a bog standard kernel and not have to worry about installing third party drivers, but it’s not the end of the world if you do have to toss some third party drivers in there
