Hi, Depends on the distro you will install, if We check all the HW that matters, the GPU will need the proprietary drivers (Cuda) to work at maximum performance, remember to blacklist nouveau, the wifi it's an Intel 1650ti there's available firmware to work properly also Bluetooth, in the other hand what would not work it's the RGB backlit keyboard and FN keys too, as per today I can't find any project or work in progress to solve this. In short you have a friendly Linux distro laptop with this model.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
