Also 'am considering Knopix, not live DVD, but installed version since there are some howto's on installing it permanently without bootable only...
thankz for inputs.

I`m using Linux Mint for about half a year. I can say that i don`t miss Windows. Very good support and worth to try it.

[ervini]

can i install together with windows and what parameters need?

[simo]

yes, that`s no problem. Just download Linux Mint, burn it on CD/DVD or on a USB-Stick and follow the instruction in the installation-menu. Read Carefully!

I'd recommend you to use nvidia-prime instead.
To work with office use intel - battery saving
To use hardware accelerated video use nvidia - increase performance.

I don't think you can do that switching on the fly though - the nvidia will always run in the background consuming a certain amount of power.

I really regret buying an optimus laptop.

Try to update you Ubuntu IOS. I got mine bumblebee working after a full update

Very good operating system.

First thing to install is Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Then it depends what you use your computer for.
