I just got my first 17in laptop. It's a dell XPS 9700. I wiped it and installed Arch Linux within minutes of unboxing! lol. I just finished and we're at 6 hours from delivery (4 hours of beer drinking and) 2 hours of config later, I'm posting on devrants. Everything but the audio and nvidia graphics worked OOTB. I'm still working on getting nvidia prime working on Wayland. Tips welcome!

    I think you should give it a little more time. Nvidia was ignoring Wayland until very recently and the support (if you can call it that) is pretty shit.

    This is why my machines don't have Nvidia hardware. I just won't financially reward a company that refuses to play along with OSS.

    "Fuck you, Nvidia!"(tm)

    Ah Nvidia can be a pain, also the reason I my new laptop has no dedicated GPU

    I had a gaming laptop with Nvidia Optimus in the past and that was absolutely horrible

    In what world, 6H is an acceptable time to setup a machine? And still have problems.
    You wasted 6H, while you could have had a running laptop in minutes.
    And audio still not working?
    Well, I guess if you have nothing better to do, go for it, have fun
