footnote 12 - In order to install Ubuntu 16.04.1 on this graphics option, HP recommends that you change the graphics mode in BIOS to use the 'discrete' setting. You may also need to add 'nomodeset' to the boot line during
installation.
footnote 11 -Red Hat introduced a regression in RHEL 7.3 in which the touchpad ceases to function. This issue was resolved in RHEL 7.6.
footnote 10 - As of this edition, the Bluetooth functionality of this "combo" device has not been enabled in any tested distribution. However, the wireless LAN capability is functional.
footnote 6 - HP recommends use of NVIDIA driver 361.28 (or newer) for configurations with NVIDIA graphics.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
footnote 9 - As of this edition, the docking station has not been tested for compatibility with Linux distributions. The supported state of the various I/O ports will be updated as new information becomes available over time.
At this time, there are no other supported Linux distributions for this mobile workstation. Evaluation and testing are underway on and Ubuntu 14.04. When additional updates are ready,
additional columns for supported releases will be added to this document.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
RHEL 7 certifications pending. RHEL 6 certifications unlikely.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS,
similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 2 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes and can be used with SATA or PCIe storage devices. Software RAID may not support RAID of the boot volume.
footnote 3 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux
distribution is at the distributor's discretion.
footnote 4 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 5 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver on v5 processors (Skylake) is not available for most release streams as of this edition of the table.
footnote 7 - As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktops and no desktops are optimized for a satisfactory touch experience.
footnote 8 - SED drives work with Linux. There is, however, no Linux support available for manipulating encryption settings via the Opal API.
