footnote 12 - The speaker and volume controls in the audio module are functional, but the telephony controls are not.
footnote 13 - Changes in RHEL 7.6 broke the trackpad functionality on this system. It has been fixed in an errata kernel. See this information: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:0163.
footnote 10 - 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.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP ZBook 15 G5 Mobile Workstation
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.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).

footnote 3 - HP recommends the following minimum revision of the NVIDIA driver: 390.67 (or newer).
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 - AMD Radeon Pro graphics cards are now supported in Linux by the amdgpu open source driver. OS streams are supported at specific release version levels, starting with these: RHEL 7.5, Ubuntu 16.04.4
and 18.04.
footnote 8 - On Ubuntu 16.04.4 the trackpad has issues initially after installation that require manual work-arounds in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. See HP support website for documentation on how to accomplish this.
Until this issue is worked around, the desktop user experience is very poor, as the cursor randomly jumps into "follow" mode.
footnote 11 - The fingerprint sensor device is recognized/enumerated by the kernel. However, all of the setup and configuration to use the sensor for authenticate must be done by the user. FYI: The required software is
not typically installed by enterprise distributions.
footnote 9 - This option is not supported on Linux distributions.
footnote 4 - At this time, AMD has not released a pro driver for this GPU. If you want to use a pro driver, please check at https://www.amd.com/en/support.
footnote 5 - For installation, HP recommends setting the BIOS gfx mode to 'discrete'. It may be necessary to boot with the 'nomodeset' option for installation to work around issues with the inbox gfx driver.
footnote 6 - The current supported Linux distributions have the correct iwlwifi driver but may lack the latest Intel 9560 firmware to properly operate the wifi solution. Check with your
distribution vendor for updates.
footnote 7 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution. Any use of the TPM module may require additional software from the distribution.
