> Linux does exceptionally well considering there is almost no money at all going into this use case. But there are many bugs, sometimes due to hardware (e.g ACPI inconsistencies, even Thinkpads have issues) and because of software churn (few fix bugs in their spare time, it's more fun to create something new).

This is me figuring out my Optimus without Mux. My screen freezes when laptops (ASUS N76VB) resumes from sleep. (I don't know which state S1 - S4.)

So I have "Fixed" the issue. But this was a problem of the HD Audio device driver? in the NVIDIA 740m?

It was difficult to fix and I'm thinking about making a GitHub repository thing about it.

I had this issue on Fedora, Ubuntu and Pop!_OS.
