eOS to lineageOS is like Ubuntu to Debian; a more newb-oriented solution with some stuff preinstalled but with less choices; e.g. you can't switch out the iOS-like launcher. if you know your way around, you're wasting your time with eOS. but if it's for a less technically adept user, you might be doing them a favor with eOS. the murena suite can be opted out of.
had a bunch of those. the best thing you can do is disable the nvidia graphics and run it off the intel graphics, plenty powerful for everyday tasks, lower power consumption, less heat, longer battery life. only downside, you lose display out.
after that, any linux distro will suit you just fine. go with fedora for newest and best or debian for safe and boring.
anyone knows what kinda driver that isn't nouveau works for a GT750M? @mlg@lemmy.world which did you use for your 750ti?
got a Macbook Pro 2013 motherboard (i7-4850, 16 GB DDR3, GT750M 2 GB) that I'm thinking of turning into a desktop. no gaming intended, although welcome if possible (old titles).

was there at any time , say in the last 50 or so years, at any point, new tech that we, the tech enthusiasts, folks who go out of their way to buy and use and find new uses for tech, tech that we somehow missed to see its usefulness? anything that needed this much debating and convincing and hand-wrangling and moral bargaining? and having those fucking cretins on the other side of the argument?
did someone need to convince you the web is awesome? mobile phone? electric car? conversely, you instantly knew VR is bullshit. and crypto. and all its derivatives.
this shit ain't what they say it is, there ain't no I in this ai. you perpetuating this butlerian bullshit means you swallowed their spiel (look up critihyping), that this financial scam dressed up as progress is an inevitability.
this just needs a normal revolution, of the kind that was enacted a coupla times in history, stripping the right folks of a buncha stuff that I ain't gonna specify here, for entirely legal reasons.
