Those poor Nvidia users lol.

I mean, by now everyone should know not to buy Nvidia hardware if you want to run Linux on it.

It's been more than 10 years since Linus' finger to Nvidia.

“Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.

Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.

I know it would be great if we could install Linux on any hardware, but unfortunately we're not there yet.

So you can either buy a laptop with Linux preinstalled, from a manufacturer who will support it, or do some research before hand.

And Nvidia doesn't have a monopoly on laptops, you can buy an AMD gaming laptop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
