Well there is no easy way to tell that other posts on reddit aren't fake so I think there is not much harm being done here. Just your little addiction, I think. And if that makes you happy, isn't that good enough?
I am in doubt about running Linux on my gaming system. As I need it to be as close to 100% compatible as possible for running games. Because I still have a lot of games on Steam that I haven't finished. So I don't want to lose the ability to play some of them.
I did get mine working eventually. Though that laptop died years ago.
I did not get it to switch though so when I ran Linux it was always on the Nvidia GPU. But that wasn't an issue for me.
I remember there being a name for this that made it easier to search for a solution. But for the life of me I cannot remember what it was.
Good luck on your quest and I hope you get it working.
This reminds me of the nightmare of those laptops with intel and nvidia gpu so you could switch to nvidia if you wanted to game. And what a nightmare it was to even get the nvidia gpu working in linux.
When I'm buying new hardware I'll make sure never to buy nvidia again. However sometimes I am gifted things and it would be rude to refuse to accept.
If money was no object I would go all in on open source hardware. Open source everything for me.
Sadly I cannot. And so I am still stuck with decades old closed source hardware. But at least I'm running Linux on it.
In the style of that headline I'd like to say:
Suggestive headline fuels a rise of article views, experts say.
