Hey everyone!
So I've specced this system up but get a compatibility warning on the confirmation screen. I personally don't see where the issue will be when installing Linux (Debian 8), most of the hardware I would have thought would have drivers available (Nvidia, Intel ect.) Can anyone advise if i'm being massively stupid here and missing something totally obvious as to why this hardware won't support Linux OS?
Thanks
