Hi guys, it's my first post here.
I bought this laptop:
RECOIL SERIES: 16 -inch Mate panoramic screen 100 % LED, 240Hz SRGB (2560x1600)
Intel® Core ™ I9 13900HX (5.4 GHz Turbo) processor (5.4 GHz of Turbo)
64 GB Corsair 4800 MHz Sodimm DDR5 (2 x 32 GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 4060 - 8.0GB GDDR6 Video RAM - Directx® 12.1
2 TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 NVME PCIE M.2 SSD (UP TO 4125 MB/SR, 3325 MB/SW)
Integrated SD memory card reader
1 x 280 w power supply
1.5 meter European power cable (C13)
Integrated Ion-Litius Battery Series Collection of 99 Wh
Liquid metal performance cooling
Steelseries Nahimic Audio 2 high definition channels
Gigabit Lan and Wireless Intel® Wi-Fi 6e Ax211 (2.4 Gbps) + Bt 5.3
1 TUNCHERBOLT PORT 4 + 3 USB 3.2 ports

Someone can tell me If I will be able to install Manjaro Linux. I asked in Manjaro community and they told me this:

  • check if it is dual graphic laptop - switchable grapics
    • which in your described use case makes the Nvidia obsolete
    • research if Nvidia may cause issues especially because it is a laptop
    • mostly look for resume from suspend/hibernation issues
  • research the Intel AX211 wifi

The wifi should be supported using the latest stable kernel which is 6.4 (ISO uses 6.1LTS)

Now I'm a little bit concern and I don't know If I should cancel my buy.

Thanks for read!

Did you decide to buy it in the end? If so, what are you planning on using the laptop for if you don't mind me asking? If you're both new to Linux and using it for games, for example, I would switch to Linux Mint since that's the closest that GNU/Linux has to a "just works" distro. Steam, as well as a few emulators will run flawlessly on it, but a lot of older games will require you to use Wine (Windows emulator) which is not exactly newbie friendly, even with Wine Tricks installed on top of it.

Yes I bought and I'm using the new from one month ago.
In Manjaro works perfectly. I had 1 or 2 basics issues but I googled it and asking in the Manjaro Community solves the problem.
I'm using the laptop for coding and design.

Here a screenshot from Manjaro
