Ok, so I got everything running on Ubuntu 17.10. switched to i3 because holy mother of God is never have to resize a window again!

Switched to using the Von editor mode in IntelliJ because dear lord is it faster!

I love all of it. The only problem? Instead of the 6-10 hours of battery I got in Windows, I get MAX 2 hours in Ubuntu because it's always using the Nvidia card and switching to the integrated Intel causes an instant log out after the log in. (Tried everything already, nothing works)

Still, I love it.

    If you haven't already update your cpu microcode for better battery life. I did that on an Ubuntu laptop and got nearly and extra hour of battery life once that and all drivers and updates were done.

    @arcadesdude iafaik I have them installed. I dialed the GPU in the bios and I'd seems to be running much better now. I only need it occasionally anyway so I don't really mind.
