I've installed mint on my laptop, I like it so far. Everything was super easy to get set up, even the graphics drivers
question, i have a older computer that i want to switch to linux. It has a 1080. Do i just install linux and it will work, or do i have to go look for drivers, or do i have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed? How do i have to imagine it?
I am a Linux beginner so i could be wrong, but I believe Linux is very plug and play and has drivers already integrated. At least I don't remember downloading any when I set it up. I am personally using Linux Mint Cinnamon with a GTX 1060. In Mint there is a Driver Manager preinstalled which let's you pick a few nvidia drivers and an open source alternative, so it's very beginner friendly :)
screen capture Driver Manager
To that I can confidentially say no: because I have no onboard graphics and always had video output ^^
Thanks :). Guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
Now install drivers to webcam, for example elgato
Why would I do that? People might see me!
But joking aside, I admit I haven't done much with the laptop since installing mint (cinnamon for those playing at home). But I did instsll a daw (reaper) and recorded some music ideas using my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 audio interface
Glad to hear that you didn't had any problem with focusrite, I also use it so at least now I know that it works.
