What about all the drivers this evil Alienware needs?
It’s the Alienware 17 consolation prize for when they “couldn’t fix” my Alienware 18.
Locked into Win10 by the stupid drivers since there are no Win7 drivers available for the hardware.
I hate 10 with a passion, even after installing Classic Shell.
Sucks.
You would not the first to run linux mint on the alienware dell. I think you might be pleasantly surprised with the drivers already packaged with the mint, they have included just about everything for everything. Mint also has it’s own BIOS firmware available to make it a linux BIOS, and BIOS/driver packages for Dell ready for download from their repository.
Exactly what model Dell is that? Some of those actually came from the factory with linux as an optional OS. Meaning it might already be Linux friendly and Dell would also have all the linux drivers available if the Mint has any issues with hardware. :)
