- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

I need an intel driver to turn the fucking useless onboard graphics off. for debian. any tips?
You can't. Some laptops have the igpu as the dedicated driver of the display and can't do hardware mux. If your laptop doesn't offer the option in UEFI, it probably doesn't support it.
thank you for this info. what do you think would happen if I did the following , more or less with the info indicated in my post here?

My laptop has this option in the bios settings
Not sure if it's only for laptops but you could check there.
I checked, it's the easiest option and isn't on my stupid MSI motherboard

Leave it to budget boards to exclude every possible useful setting but keep "boot from lan"
