@SparkyTD Linux and Nvidia.... Just fuck it!

I had to port a USB bus driver for my laptop from Linux kernel 2.x on Fedora to 5.x on Debian.
It took a recompile using the provided makefile. That's all. No changes at all, it just works.
Standards are important but if the driver maker wasn't fucking retarded you should still be OK if something's standard-breaking. -
@SparkyTD Actually, get a Manjaro 19.0. If you got Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU, it will now set up PRIME. So it works. Just needs to run applications (or the parent processes thereof) that you want to run on NVIDIA with "nvidia-xrun".

@Parzi Consider making it a dynamic kernel module. dkms is quite nice.

@kescherRant it's literally for one model of laptop that isn't popular and is hated for being large and heavy and a normal, fully-socketed laptop in the days of paper-thin netbooks with 32GB of NAND and 1GB of RAM and explosives that go off if the insides are exposed to air.
It also has an Intel FakeGPU so no laptop-gamers want it either.
OK! all you windows haters.
This is why i totally love windows to death.
it has awesome features no other OS...
Ubuntu: Lulz your trackpad drivers don't work and there's no solution other than compiling them yourself or something it might not even work because it's for a different model but just hope and pray ok? also your wifi obviously fucking won't work. What, are you retarded?
Manjaro: Ye I gotchu. Mouse works outta the box. WiFi too
