You have to be very unlucky to find a laptop without Linux support these days. Nvidia’s support towards the Linux developers is better now, but still leaves much to be desired, and gaming, while Steam did an incredible job in making Linux better than Windows for most games, can’t really work miracles if the hardware manufacturer doesn’t care.

It does have Linux support, mostly, it's just that the nvidia support is not good enough if someone doesn't want to run Bazzite or Arch (I don't want to).

  • I tend to avoid Nvidia on my laptops, but AI has made them less and less optional. This whole ecosystem dependency on a single hardware provider that can’t publish a reasonable device driver is not the best possible scenario.
