Here's my desktop OP
on my thinkpad t420
>>56915097
your waifu is a trash
>>56915019
Looks alright but those fonts look like shit.
Linux distros can't run on dual graphics laptops
>>56915097
Fuck, man, I also have a T420 and mourn the fact that it doesn't have a 1080p screen. I'm sad.
>>56915447
Except that's wrong, pal.
>>56915500
i love my T420
worth the hype
>>56915854
My work laptop has a 1080p screen and my eyes just bleed when I look at the T420, man, it's just heartbreaking. Saw some posts on how to manually change the screen, but fuck..
Shouldn't be this hard.

fuccin hell. tried setting up bumblebee but something went wrong. Also it keeps freezing when i use the laptop.
Fedora 24 here
>>56915968
>Fedora 24 here
Well, you know now what to do pal.
Here's your one liner to get everything working in Arch:
sudo pacman -S mesa mesa-libgl nvidia xf86-video-intel bumblebee lib32-virtualgl lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-mesa-libgl && sudo gpasswd -a $USER && sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed.service && reboot
>>56915968
>>56916003
Small correction, forgot the name of the group in the gpasswd section, it's:
sudo gpasswd -a $USER bumblebee
>>56916003
Bummer, i love Fedora
I think arch might be too advanced for me (the installation process). Is Manjaro a good alternative?
here you go, OP. are these threads still being cleaned up? Also anyone got a quick guide to configuring GNOME color schemes? A gui editor would be nice :)
>>56916386
also complimentary scrot :)
>>56916278
Pls respond. I want to do this right now if possible
I *do* run Linux on my laptop. Mint is really convenient, I've had it on here for a while.
>>56916278
No it's easy just follow the beginners guide you can't fuck it up. It will take you maybe half a day if you've never done it before and arn't that familiar with linux. Obviously make sure you have another device to troubleshoot with.
>>56915760
If those specs on a laptop that's insane.
>>56916633
thank you senpai
linux will never look this good
