Ubuntu on 17.3" Cosmos III
Hi,
I am thinking of buying following config (I am open to ideas about my config too)of 17.3" Cosmos III and I want to install Ubuntu (14.04.2 or 15.04) but I am not sure If there are all the drivers available. I remember when I was installing Ubuntu on my HP G7 it was more or less working from the beginning (apart some few small things) but I heard stories that people had to return the machine, because it was not able to run Ubuntu (or other Linux).
I am web developer and i don't play games so I don't need any amazing GPU. And I am probably also not going to do the dual boot (maybe later Virtual machine). I often work with dozens (sometimes a hundred) open tabs-that's the reason for the big RAM (and also possibility of using Virtual Machines in future).
Thanks for your help.
