[Solved] Sorry if this not related to this community because I don't know where to ask, but should I buy this laptop? and does it play nice with Linux.

I have no idea how you are having trouble with this. Are you using some weird disto or something bleeding edge? Like with Ubuntu, select “use proprietary drivers” and it always works. NixOS works fine too without hassle.

You’re assuming that it “always” happens because it happens for you. It simply does not. Everyone in this thread agreeing with me is not just stupid.

You will never convince an Nvidia fan that Nvidia has ever done anything badly.

Don’t know what it is in this thread. “It did not work for you so you must have done something wrong”?

See my thread where some dude says it should just work (when he is just doing LTS kernel updates only and not updating in general).

Comments simply blaming the user based on their limited usecase are hardly constructive.
