ThinkPad and Linux question:
Is the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics in the ThinkPad P50 laptop useful at all with Linux?
Laptop has a pretty powerful i7 processor, but not officially supported by Windows 11 and the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics has also been discontinued from support by nVidia (not sure what that means).
... so will it work okay with Linux ?
Only one way to find out, but thought I'd throw the question out here.
