What even is the best linux distro for laptops? I have always had problems with them and am considering going to a mac.
xubuntu: huge screentearing problems
Solus: Lack of nvidia optimus support and bootup failures
ubuntu: who the fuck likes the default distro. I tried. Also screentearing.
wtf do you guys use? Is it worth it anymore? Serious considering going to a corporate supported os system rather than a community of neckbeards working together to create an OS.
I run OpenSUSE on 2 laptops, previously used Fedora, was fine but disliked Gnome and the short support time.

>i can't get any girls so i'm considering going gay
u w0t m8?
>>61911460
Isn't more like, I can't get the wild girls with issues to like me so I will go with the conservative Christian girl that has been raised strictly by her parents to settle down with.
Just fix the screentearing...
>>61911403
If you have an Nvidia card on a laptop seriously stick with Windows. Your battery life will thank you. Linux is for no dgpu laptops only
>>61911485
Wayland? Pain in the ass to do. That also doesn't fix the individual applications itself, just specific ones you specify.

Fixed.

I mean... if you really are into boys do whatever you want. Dream big.

Ubuntu mate is basically xubuntu without screen tearing.
>>61911503
I have tried it, but mate is just so ugly.

Do you even know who the CEO of apple is?
>>61911453
how about ones that don't have a gpu. Just an integrated gpu.
>>61911403
they are all good on laptops
that's linux (refering to the kernel's) #1 selling point
>>61911528
Should be a lot better since AMD and Intel have good open source drivers.
>>61911522
>CEO is gay so the OS gender is a boy
Do you know how retarded these hypotheticals are?
>>61911522
The founder of Myspace and Facebook?
Try out Manjaro, for XFCE use compton to get rid of the screen tearing or just get a different DE entirely and see how that works out.

The Dell XPS 13 Developer's Edition doesn't have this problem.
Install Solus
[spoiler]No seriously they literally came out with their own graphical switcher today[/spoiler]

I think it is that guy that makes those youtube videos and has fucked up teeth and looks like a methhead.
>>61911566
install tlp and powertop, disable unwanted crap in powertop.
Done.
>>61911570
My laptop is a dell xps 9360 though and I still get problems. What even is the default linux distro in the developers edition. Also :
>Paying more for a free os
>>61911584

>>61911584
>inb4 you accidently delete something you needed in powertop
>>61911548
moot?
>>61911548
The entire country of Israel.
>>61911616
powertop only changes values, it doesn't create or delete anything
So Solus, ubuntu, Manjaro, Deepin, Zorin, or Elementary?
>>61911643
All shit.

KDE kills battery life fast. Not worth it.
>>61911661
