*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*

The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.

Linlap.info is an attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.

Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!

Any help appreciated!

Will also the vanilla Ubuntu (with GNOME) follow suit on these gaming enhancements?

** Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 has a special surprise for Linux gamers - an updated WELCOME APP! **

Now what do one have there right in the face upon arriving on desktop?

Steam, Lutris, RetroArch, Discord, OBS Studio, Mango HUD, CoreCtrl..

This is a very welcome trend now in the Linux distro realm towards straight forward, easy gaming.

Canonical wants to make gaming on Ubuntu more pleasant - your feedback is requested!

The first request for example asks for making Mesa upgrades easier so the user would not be required add PPAs for new graphics drivers on AMD / Intel.

Nvidia, of course, is another story with their proprietary and still to this day CLOSED source drivers...
