Re: HP
For the last few years I've run linux on my machines, mainly because of my work requirements. I've found that the only drivers I've ever had to install are Nvidia/AMD drivers as pretty much everything else is auto detected. Recently, I've found that the open source Nvidia/AMD drivers are good enough not to bother installing the proprietary drivers. I had not used windows for a while, it seems odd to me why all the drivers are not just pulled from the updates thingy.
