Some older drivers work fine all the drivers work on 2 monitors at any resolution or refresh rate. Most Nvidia cards support three monitors but once you enable the third monitor your power use can jump up to 185 watts on the card! Because the card will run at top speed all the time!Who could / can fix this problem?Well NVIDIA could FIX their broken Linux drivers. The makers of each card could also fix the problem. Like EVGA making a version of Precision X FOR LINUX! When you have THOUSANDS of customers buying video cards from $400 to $1,400+. The least any company could do is support the OS their customers use. But I understand why they don't support a totally FREE Operating System that's works great, runs everything 99.99% of the end users would ever need!The most common EXCUSE I hear from most companies "there are so many versions of Linux". OK this is true Linux has a version for every user. BUT all the... less

FIRST Dump the UEFI boot & Secure boot, boot legacy, set your sata drives to RAID but don't create a raid partition. If you're using a single drive create one NTFS partion on the back of the drive. Install Windows 8, 8.junk or 10 on the front of the drive (IN THE FREE SPACE) it will make both of it's partitions (or three for Windows 10). 100 to 200meg system partition & the windows operating system.If you only have one hard drive you can use separate partitions. In that case Windows will need to be use the front of the drive.So it would look something like this Linux can read & write Windows fat or NTFS files, Windows CAN NOT read Linux folders or files. After Windows is installed delete the NTFS partition you created on the back of the drive. Install EASY BCD 2.2 ONLY, 1. Restart and insert the CD or USB Ubuntu boot.1. Select "TRY"2. Once it's booted into Ubuntu on... less

Only a few specialized programs that run only in Windows or Mac, that you may need for work. Would be the only reason for not using Linux 100% of the time. Most common Linux to switch from Windows or Mac to Linux, would be Ubuntu. Ubuntu When you download Ubuntu, there will be different versions. 32bit, 64bit, newest version supported for 18 months, new version ( missing some bells & whistles) supported for 5 years. Not to worry it will say which version does what. You can download Ubuntu, run it off the CD (LIVE CD), to test and see if you like it. Then it will have an option to install it, on the Live CD Desktop. You will also be given the choice to install it next to windows. Then on start up you have a choice of which to use. It has everything you have in windows plus some: internet browsers, firefox, chromium, opera, open office (libre office), video... less
