"my understanding of laptops with dual video cards is that as long as you can set your preferred card to nVidia in the BIOS, then the blob will run as effectively as ever"
That's bullshit, do you work for nvidia or something? No new optimus laptops are coming with mux support.
That would be awesome because Nvidia NEEDS Linux unlike no other operation system. We have Google to thank.... Android.
But on top of that, if Nvidia disappeared there would be a reason for the Linux community (which is fucking huge these days, all things consider) to build a replacement.
Right now there is really no decent GPU solution for Linux, Nvidia jumping off a cliff would be doing Linux users a favor.
They are considered cowardly because it means that have no chance of winning. Killing a bunch of remote controlled robots just means there will be more robots in the next wave.
Fuck our enemies feelings about our weaponry.
Should we be forced to use stone clubs and IEDs because those apes do?

How about you start supporting the fucking GPUs you are selling people, like this Nvidia Optimus shit!?
Crazy talk, I know, not kicking your paying customers in the nuts. Sounds like something wild and crazy that Apple would try to pull.
But Chrome took over the top browser spot from IE.
So who gives a fuck what a bunch of wannabes think?
Replied to wrong comment.
Because the Linux community are their customers and the customer is always right.

Oh yeah? Where can I buy that at?
Oh right the m11x has been discontinued.
What???? LOL

They've already started to abandon Linux.
Zero laptops on the market with Nvidia chipsets work on Linux.
Buying Nvidia isn't safe anymore, with Nvidia Optimus you won't be able to use the nvidia GPU.
And Nvidia has said they aren't going to be supporting Linux for GPUs using Nvidia Optimus... ever.
Fuck Nvidia (the word needs to get out that nvidia is no longer usable on Linux)
Same here, fuck Nvidia.
Quit perpetuating that myth, Nvidia's support is not as good as it used to be.
Shitty support + closed source driver = Fuck Nvidia
But they don't. Virtually all new laptops come with this horrible Nvidia Optimus shit, which is totally unsupported by Nvidia.
There are some open source attempts to workaround the garbage but you can imagine how well that is going.
Fuck Nvidia is definitely how I feel.
It's even user upgradable.
Ewwwwwwww
Windows Phone has a closed ecosystem like the iPhone.
Android is basically "The Windows" of the smartphone market.
Anyone can build a phone with it, you can install your own apps if you want to.
I highly doubt the freetards are why everyone buys Android and iPhone. They make up a tiny fraction of cell phone users.
No, my dear troll, the real answer is that no one wants to carry Windows about with them.
Windows isn't for hipsters. Windows isn't for nerds. Windows isn't for grandma.
Windows is for losers, in all of it's incarnations.
That's why Windows has such soft sales figures.
Androids are made of people!
Oh wait...
On a shitty, low end GPU at that.
Over 2k and you don't get at least a 670m? The range goes from 650m to 680m right now.
Yes FOOL, but this is iRam.
Which is much shinier than regular RAM.
One could say it's an ENGINEERING MARVEL TO BEHOLD!
You fuck up, it was: eliminate Saddam Hussein and his political base.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
How the fuck did we not win the second Iraq war?
I know there are crazy people on the Internet but fuck you are delusional.
They are considered cowardly because it means that have no chance of winning. Killing a bunch of remote controlled robots just means there will be more robots in the next wave.

Quit being such a Whoracle!
