I've gone through 8 laptops already. I keep returning them because I can't get Ubuntu working with the latest Nvidia drivers. When I first install Ubuntu it works perfectly. But I need OpenGL 4.3 so I need to install the latest Nvidia driver. Once I do that and reboot Ubuntu crashes. I have also tried this with Linux Mint and same results. My current laptop is an Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-571G-769P) with an Nvidia GeForce 840M. I can't believe I can't get linux with OpenGL 4.3 working.
I'm getting the following error
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"`
