My laptop randomly stopped detecting the second screen? Driver can't rollback and is updated? Wut? Do I really have to uninstall the driver? Will it really automatically redownload and install the newest one when I restart it? Can I trust windows not to fuck that up too?

@Jazzy_Butts I ended up installing Linux on my laptop because of windows' shitty driver support for it

@beardalaxy Yea that's what I'm going to do asap, I have to learn more

@Jazzy_Butts mint cinnamon, it's very nice and very windows-like, easily the best I've used. I also like mint xfce, it's a bit more like win XP whereas cinnamon is more like win 10.

@beardalaxy Yea mint looks best to me, but I *have* always wanted to go back to windows xp look ever since this new minimalist crap was forced on me

@Jazzy_Butts mint runs cinnamon which is their own custom Linux distro, and then they maintain an xfce version. They also have a mate version, but that shit sucks.

@beardalaxy ready for this, it was a power management setting that fixed this. I almost went fucking around with drivers for no reason.
