As opposed to the Windows approach (unless you enjoy being stuck with preloaded malware, such as Superfish, McAfee, or Mac OS X):
* WTF, why isn't my NIC registering? I thought we had a standard for this stuff by now.
* Download NIC drivers from secondary computer
* Put NIC drivers on a USB stick
* Install NIC drivers
* Nothing happened, turns out you found the drivers for the wrong revision of the chipset, go back to square one
* Download Nvidia drivers
* Try to install, nope, you need to find the Intel drivers first
* Download and install Intel drivers
* Install the Nvidia drivers again
* It's 2AM already, go to sleep
* You forgot to turn off Windows Update, and now you're stuck with Windows 10
* Reformat again, and start over
As opposed to:
$ sudo pacman -S nvidia bumblebee && sudo usermod -aG bumblebee $(whoami) && reboot
