apt-get install nvidia-319-updates That's where they are. The drivers crash on suspend/resume, so you need the ctrl-alt-backspace combo to kill X but otherwise it's OK. Newer versions are better, but they're not included in the official repo yet.
Awesome, after almost two years of owning my computer the newest feature is that it still crashses on suspend/resume. Use Linux they said, your computer will stop crashing they said... I'm not touching any Nvidia driver until shit starts working. But thanks for update! Appreciated a lot.
I recently switched to Fedora 20, and my Optimus is working well there with the nouveau drivers...

#73Things I would like: 1) drop the ridiculous Unity desktop. maybe I am old and out of touch, but that was horrific . 2) Dual boot just works with UEFI/Windows 8.1 3) Supports audio and graphics hardware in common brands like Acer I have 9 installed on a samsung since 2009 and it's been an absolute pleasure, just worked.

KDE is a sane switch. Completely customizable.

Why would you use Ubuntu if you think Unity is ridiculous? That's like getting a Mac and saying that Apple should drop OS X.
It's very clear that Unity isn't for everyone, but I don't understand why people who know it's not for them seem to still want to use Ubuntu.

Intel, who is putting the effort into open source drivers and Mesa developers, I think. I think the increase in desktop graphics performance has to do with the updates in Mesa 3D Graphics Library. Ubuntu 13.10 has 9.1, while 14.04 has 10.1. Though I would have thought that Intel HD 4000 would provide decent performance even with the old Mesa. I'm on GMA 4500MHD (GM45, ThinkPad X200, circa 2008) and that feels laggy s…
I'm running 12.04 with I7 Ivy Bridge HD4000 too and have no performance issues. Maybe it's op's hard drive? I'm running the system on an SSD and it's a night and day difference to the rotating equivalents.
8gigs of RAM :) ? in my experience not a single byte over 4GB RAM matters in linux desktop. I have (Ubuntu 13.10 on an old sonny vaio core 2 duo) 4GB and with all the workspace open and a virtual box with 1.5GB RAM allocated to it, i didn't reach 3GB (it stays around 2.7-2.8GB).

Ubuntu is a fairly decent base for a desktop no matter your favorite DE. Their packaging XFCE, KDE and Gnome are as good as any. They are pretty good at getting things working out of the box. Their software is reasonable up to date, and their collections of PPAs are in my experience really up to date on even the most obscure packages. Basically Ubuntu does a lot of things right totally unconnected to Unity.

True dat. If unity does not appeal, there are *buntu options. IMO, Xubuntu is the way forward.
