removed that.
KWin issues a warning that is has crashed in the past, I ignored the warning
and switched Desktop effects on.
Maybe it would be a good idea if there is some check in these
libglx-nvidia-alternatives packages which issues a warning if you have a
laptop without nvidia glx hardware, so that one doesn't run into that problem.
I surely haven't actively installed the nvidia packages.
This is a i3 1st gen. Aldi laptop, cheep stuff, but good enough for my
purposes. I know there is no real dedicated graphics on it ...
