Notes on multiple attempts to install Linux Mint 19 on Razer Blade Stealth 2019

Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 - Linux Mint Installation

Dual booted with windown boot laoder via:

- 100GB / root exe4 journal file system
- 16GB Swap (might be too much --only used over heavy load)

Initial system had the following (annoying issues) + Fixes

- No drivers work properly: Mouse is laggy + wifi is super slow
  - Update the kernel immediately
  
- Install Nvidia Drivers. Ultimately, `nvidia-prime` should work and give you the option to select between drivers 
  - Go to driver manager and switch to Nvidia (probably requires kernel update in the previous step).
  - Downloads and sets up the latest driver

- Closing the lid issue: In the link below

- Pretty damn hot
  - TPL is the best so far. Tempratures droped without a noticable performance issue + battery life is better.

- Read this. Not for 2019 but still some good tips:
