Got a new laptop for my job today, you can compare it with the one I was using until now.
Old laptop: better keyboard
New laptop: better everything else
Hopefully this one doesn't shut down if I play a movie with Firefox open
Ok, I can see they really splurged on this laptop!
It's so new that the WiFi adapter is not recognised by Debian non-free...
I'll have to waste some time on this tomorrow...
@rastinza You might be able to find the source code for a different version of the Kernel and build it. I've rarely had a bad experience with custom compiled Kernels. It should help trim the excess off too.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yes, I imagine I could...
I didn't want to waste a lot of time in doing this however.
I'm not even sure what's the earliest version of the kernel I can take that has these drivers.
I guess I'll first try another stable Linux distribution to see if they've got the new kernel and that doesn't break everything, otherwise I'll do this
@rastinza You can use the latest available one too. It's not too time consuming to compile the Kernel, it's the configuration that takes a while. You can enable the newer or testing repositories which should have more Kernel versions available.
