In April this year I purchased this nice notebook.
As soon as it landed on my desk I started Windows 10 and resized the system partition to gain a little space for some serious stuff 🙂 So I gained some 160Gb to play with, not bad
Linux Mint 18.3 installed without problems, very fast and and non memory greedy, useful for daily work (mostly programming stuff in Python/Java)
When LM19 came out I was excited and tried quite a few times to install it but the live system was constantily hanging after a minute or two. I tried helplessy some grub parameters such as ‘nomodeset’ without success, until I found this precious parameter somewhere in the excellent Arch Linux wiki:
nouveau.noaccel=1
Now I’m a happy LM19 user, waiting for the LM Team to enable upgrade in update manager to the brand new LM19.1, that looks even faster and snappier (and supported until 2023)
