Out of curiosity, what Linux did you try on it? Relatively new and you tried Mint maybe?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I ran mint on an hm110 with an old as balls nvidia and the only bug i had was tracking down the 330 drivers so i could shut the godddamn fan up. (And then had to compile a Kodi build from source yay thanks muppets)

Linux isn't as transparent as windows when it comes to legacy drivers, it's always been an issue

Not to sell your experience short, that sucks, but that's on Nvidia for being the worst company in the world for driver support.

Yup, two prongs on the same fork.
