Well, currently nVidia optimus solutions are not supported by nVidia, or very well elsewhere in the Linux world. So you'd not be able to take advantage of the nVidia graphics It was with that in mind that I opted for a AMD E350 APU netbook, only to find the catalyst drivers from AMD are not supported with the 3.4 Kernel Hopefully this will be rectified soon, as they are an improvement on the free Gallium drivers, as experienced with earlier versions of the kernel. Most other hardware appears to be well supported in Fedora 17, and I expect it's the same for other Linux distros. Lastly I've found my netbook to be far more portable than my previous 17" laptop which also suffered from no hybrid graphics support in Linux.Currently have hp dv9000 17" used as desktop replacement. I'm thinking about buying something new (not hp this time). Should I worry about linux compatibility, or are those issues pretty much resolved now? I guess graphics chipset is the biggest issue. I don't expect to need 3D performance, but want decent 2D. Any suggestions? All the best with whatever you choose. cpp4ever |
