At home, I got fed up tinkering GNU/Linux since my Slackware
days (1995), as laptop support still tends to fall in some
parts, namely graphics support, wireless chipsets and battery
usage.
Is this still true? As far as I am aware nVIDIA and Intel
graphics
support is fine on Linux, ditto Intel wifi support. My AMD card
in my
dual graphics laptop is 4 years old and AMD have given up
supporting it,
so that's a fail compared to nVIDIA who are still supporting my
7 year
old card.
As for battery life, my X201 still gives about 6 hours use per
charge,
would Windows do any better?
Battery usage is still a common problem. Everything has been
working perfectly for years now.
