I got this shit unexpectedly on Christmas. It was over 500 bux. Build quality Is questionable and the TouchPad feels like shit on Linux.
Surely for the price I could of gotten a better laptop? Also I don't like how it's multicolored...

If you can't use something as ingrained as a language, what makes you think you could use a better machine?
Sell the laptop and buy an etch-a-sketch.
Connor Miller
be happy you got it atleast
Jeremiah Foster
You spent the time to type that out and do the capcha because I didn't day Could have.

>what is Synaptics
Caleb Bennett
Regular drivers didn't work at all. Tried libinput too. The touch pad isn't supported properly in the kernel or something
At first it was a just detected as a generic USB mouse but through dkms wizard hacks it kind of works with 2 finger scroll
Linux is gay sometimes.
Cooper Barnes
Debian /RHEL-based distros don't usually have this problem.
Adam Walker
I have a similar model and I have no idea what you're bitching about OP.
>Super sleek and light design.
>Nice responsive keyboard.
>Touchpad is great with proper drivers installed.
>1920x1080 HD screen with no glare.
>NO fans means it's 100% silent all the time. No annoying hum while you work.
>Extremely fast with the included SSD and processor.
>Perfect size and weight for carrying around effortlessly in a bag/backpack.
>Great battery life.
Fuck you OP. It's a terrific work computer if you're travelling a lot. What else could you want? Some 17" 10kg "gaming laptop" behemoth that sounds like you're in a wind tunnel when you turn it on?
Kevin Wilson
had the same problem, no multitouch, no meaningful config under xinput
it works fine after running github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-dkms though, you tried that?
Connor Cox
Not the guy who replied BUT It might be because I'm not a native speaker (sorry for being a south americafag) and we do this shit in our own language all the time as well, but there is hardly anything that triggers me more than "could of" or "would of" just because of how little sense it makes and how ridiculous it looks
Cameron Lewis
It's the ungrateful pieces of shit like you why we can't have nice things... There is nothing wrong with this piece of tech (also asus=questionable build quality,????) it's the owner that should be sold on Craigslist for "spare parts"...

>Linux
Stopped reading right there.
Jayden Murphy
Yeah. Linux on a laptop is like fucking with a mesh condom...
Elijah Ross
The funny part is that they blame the hardware instead of blaming Linux.
Zachary Ortiz
The hardware is the blame most of the time. Before you buy a laptop, you have to make sure the hardware is properly supported before you make the purchase. Otherwise, you're going to end up with endless headaches and end up installing botnetOS®™
Nathan Diaz
they blame the hardware manufacturers, you mean
Cameron Lewis
>>Surely for the price I could of gotten a better laptop?
Yes, but when someone buys a gift to someone with a bit knowhow then it is difficult. They need some serious expertise to get a good laptop for the money. If they go to the store then the store just wants to upsell to a macbook. At least you can install linux on it.
You might get used to the touchpad. Pester ASUS to release better drivers for it.
Justin Gutierrez
"Could of" does not mean anything though. It is literal retardation, if I hired someone who wrote "could of" then I would never give him responsability for anything serious. When you can not even write simple english sentences (at least here in norway) that makes sense, then you likely are some sort of imbecile.
Logan Young
It is a good laptop if you weren't using linux on it, I'd say your family member even did some research before buying it you ungrateful piece of shit
Hudson Lewis
The manufacturers are to blame (kinda). They are reluctant to release driver source code so they can't be optimized for use with linux (unless you reverse the damn chip, but that's more work than it's worth). I can understand that since they are in it for the $$$, but they could still release linux drivers themselves.

Mason Murphy
OP is that an ASUS X540? I have the exact same laptop and it's pretty good. I switched from a macbook air to this.
Hudson Gonzalez
Could of is quite common in the north of UK. Yeah it's a mistake, but you understand the intent so it doesnt matter. Language isn't math, get over it
Carter Cook
Im gonnae pump yer maw.
Thomas Gonzalez
Yes, but making mistakes deliberately is a strong indicator for a lack of respect
Caleb Murphy
Few are doing it deliberately, most just don't know

Ecchi sketchy one touchy!

ungrateful piece of shit. Hope you slip in the shower and die a shit death or live many years and spend every single holiday alone like the fucking idiot you are.
Logan Cox
Disrespectful arse! Suggest that if you wand something better then get a fucking job and buy your own. Bell-end!
Jose Hughes
Is that a Zenbook? I have a Zenbook Flip myself and use Gnome with Wayland. It takes some configuring but you can get the touchpad working almost as well as a Mac
