Hi All,
I'm intending loading Ubuntu 18.04 on this build and using it as a fast office machine.
it will be Browsing the web, Email, Storing photos, and writing up to 300 page documents with pictures.
I don't want to wait around for start-up - shut-down or opening - closing documents hence the M.2 SSD
The HDD is for archive storage.
Any comments on the general build or especially compatibly with Ubuntu 18.04 gratefully received
