I'd be interested to read the responses as I'm looking at an almost identical spec with linux in mind

There almost certainly won't be any problems as Clevo chassis have seemed to generally work well with Linux, exceptions being things like RGB keyboard backlighting control not behaving. But the system should fundamentally work afaik.

I assume the silence from the forums is just because nobody owns one and has tried Linux to confirm from personal experience
