Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP ZBook 17 G4 Mobile Workstation
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
At this time, there are no other supported Linux distributions for this mobile workstation.
When additional updates are ready, additional columns for supported releases will be added to this document.
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.
RHEL 7 certifications pending.
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 9 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with RHEL 7 on this ZBook model, starting with RHEL 7.3.
footnote 10 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04, starting with 16.04.1. The one known limitation is that the audio headphone jack does not work.
footnote 11 - With NVIDIA-based configurations, it is recommended to use the NVIDIA closed source driver when using externally connected displays. It is not recommended to connect
external displays via HDMI to configurations with AMD GPUs.
footnote 3 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt ports. 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 v7 processors (Kaby lake) is not available for most release
streams as of this edition of the table.
footnote 6 - HP recommends use of NVIDIA driver 375.66 (or newer) on NVIDIA graphics options.
footnote 7 - As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktop managers 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.
