I’ve seen stuff about Nvidia cards not working well with Linux, is that true?

If one was in the market for a new laptop anyway, would you recommend not getting nvidia and going with AMD?

I’m currently intrigued by the Lenovo LOQ line (full size numpad). Not buying anytime soon, just scoping out good brands and ideas.

*Primary role is laptop productivity, secondary role is maybe patient gaming, so I’m ok with budget gaming. Going Linux is not guaranteed, but maybe in the future because windows keeps getting more nuts. So I’m looking for info to make sure Linux is possible.

*I want this to last a long time, 10 years should be easy.

    hybrid intel/nvidia that can give you a lot of headaches on Linux

    Nah, nowadays we just use PRIME render offload via prime-run and things “just work”.

    The whole hybrid Optimus/Bumblebee graphics switcheroo was a terrible idea and I’m glad it died an ignoble death.
