Why would I want to optimize for working on planes, trains and in meetings? That's not a good work environment.

I run desktop computers and since I don't need to play video games on them, I just use the CPU graphics.

However, even when I did use a discrete GPU - every Linux distro I've used just prompts me to install the drivers and things just work.

Which, long term, is better that just being SOL when it doesn't in Windows.

Never had problems with any. Ok, hibernation was a tough nut to crack, but you just have to make sure that your swap size matches your memory size... then it's just

$ sudo systemctl hibernate
