Comment 368 for bug 1268257

I just installed Mint on mine & my wife's laptops.

There seems to have been some issue with ubuntu & nvidia cards for over a year, I just couldn't be arsed anymore.

Although Mint seems to be based on ubuntu from what I can make out (I grabbed 17.1 I think), no problems so far, and very happy with it.

Not sure what's happening, as Mint seems to be using the same proprietary hardware drivers as ubuntu (304... and 331...) - I'm not really linux savvy though, and might have missed something.
