Greetings friends,
Recently I bought a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280 with Windows 8. Although dual-boot instructions were followed Linux obliterated Win8...In an effort to get my computer working properly again I have dual-booted with Win7 Pro, but not everything works. I think this is because my system configuration may be too new.
Currently, I have Ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.10 (most likely going to upgrade to 13.10) and so far everything seems to be working. I am curious though about something to do with APUs...when I tried to play Lord of the Rings Online with Win 7 it said cannot detect graphics device and when I tried Mint 15 I could not get the accelerated graphics driver to work properly (which is why I am back to Ubuntu).
My big question after all this typing, is what can be done about it? Is there a recommended distro for Toshiba machines or Win8 configured machines in general? If not I have to get Win8 again and update to 8.1 to find out what that's going to be like...But I still need to get something working for my game because it will never be modified to work with Win8 (saw it in the forums). Also, it is only because of layer things like WINE that I will even be able to play LotRo with Linux.
