MX on a Mac Mini (late 2014)

My desktop PC broke and I got this Mac Mini 2014 second-hand, not really knowing exactly what I was getting. After OS installation, I found out it's MacOS Sierra and can't be upgraded, so I was thinking of installing MX Linux on it. Did anybody install MX Linux on a Mac Mini? Was it a smooth process...

Just adding that I switched again to modesetting and enabled backend = "glx"; in my compton.conf and I have no more screen tearing, everything seems to work well now! Thanks for the help. This is my inxi output now: $ inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] dr...

Re: nvidia optimus [solved] [Solved]

You can use the intel driver with bumblebee on MX 21 with your card, but nvidia-settings does need extra goodies on the command: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=67997 I had read that thread and tried with optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8 but it didn't work (got the errors from the fi...

Re: nvidia optimus [Solved]

also, if you have switched to the "intel" graphics driver in mx-tweak, try going back to modesetting. forcing use of "intel" will cause the issue you are facing. On the 1060 that I have here, I don't need any special tools to start nvidia-setttings, but I'm not using the "i...

Re: nvidia optimus [Solved]

I did use the installer the first time, but it didn't explain what to do next, so I installed bumblebee. I'll try again with only the installer and nvidia-run-mx. One thing I noticed though is that with bumblebee (that actually disables the card when not in use) the laptop is much cooler (about 5°C)...

Re: nvidia optimus [Solved]

I purged/reinstalled already once today, and it did not ask about optimus, nor it did on first install. I'll purge/reinstall again I guess.
