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.

>>61911403
install gentoo

>>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.

>>
>>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.

powertop only changes values, it doesn't create or delete anything
