I have a ThinkPad T61, with Nvidia G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] GPU.
I like to run Fedora KDE, but my experience with successive Fedora's
has not been happy.
The laptop just about worked with Fedora-21.
It is more or less unusable with Fedora-22,
and completely useless with Fedora-23 beta.
Is there any possibility that it might work with some future version
of Fedora KDE?
Or should I resign to using it as a Windows machine,
which needless to say works perfectly on it.
There are better alternatives to Windows. If F21/KDE4 or CentOS aren't good
enough, try Mageia 5/KDE4 recently released. OpenSUSE 13.2 has KDE4 too, and
might wind up with a longer support life than MGA5. Another option is
installing Trinity[1] in F22, which will allow access to the KDE5 things that
do work for you, like LXDE or other DEs, but with more familiarity.
