Thanks so much for this guide! Also thanks to Starlith for the awesome mouse configuration.
I'm still having a fair amount of strange problems and was wondering if anyone else has experienced them.
I should also note that I'm currently using the Intel nvidia-prime profile (in nvidia-settings), as the Nvidia profile is even more problematic.
1. Screen randomly flashing black (not often, very sparse)
2. Slight flickering when scrolling web pages (in firefox, Chrome is completely unusable).
3. Random noise when using a USB soundcard (sounds exactly like when you place a cellphone next to a speaker).
4. If I use the Atom text editor, whilst typing, random lines start appearing (I'm guessing this is chrome-related as it's running v8).
Most of these are graphic related, is this mostly just related to poor drivers? Is there anything I can do in the meantime? Thanks again!
Update:
I should also mention that trying to install the 364 nvidia driver broke my system (login-loop, had to revert to xorg then reinstall 361).
I would not recommend anyone download the Intel Graphics Linux Installer (mentioned here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...301071&page=29), it caused a lot of errors and I ended up having to remove it as a broken package.
This morning I started to experience the system randomly turning itself off. When I turned it back on the bios had reset itself to RAID. I kept getting "No Boot devices found" errors. I'm sure I didn't switch out of Legacy mode ever, but the only way to get back to GRUB and boot any OS's was to switch back to AHCI and UEFI mode.
I had a quick chance to backup my files, but it kept randomly crashing and resetting the BIOS. Now it seems the BIOS doesn't even appear, it just turns on and quickly turns off again. I plan on returning it ASAP. There shouldn't be this much instability, regardless if I'm running linux.
