I'm thinking about putting Linux on my MSI laptop.

First how does Linux handle 2 video cards. CPU Intel and a discrete Nvidia 970...

Can Linux work the light up keyboard? ( I game in the dark lot.

External monitor hooked to the display port?

Last what would be the best noob friendly distro to use. Haven't played with Linux in 10 years and really don't have time to tinker now

Understood. Have a good day! Just as an fyi nvidia and linux support is painful and is prone to breaking for weird reasons.

Yeah that's one of the reasons I've held off.

But I need to reload Windows, so I figured I'd check out alternatives.
