Does anyone have any experience with an Asus F555LA-DM2095T laptop? I'm looking for a new laptop and I'm thinking of buying this one but I'm not sure if it'll run properly. I've read a review on a similar model (ASUS F555LA-AB31) that does seem to work. I think the only difference between the two is the hard-drive (HDD over an SSD) and the processor (i3 over an i5).

I'm specifically asking if this hardware will run Ubuntu because I can not find any review on this model.

I'd really like to know if anyone has ever tried to run Ubuntu on this laptop.

Thanks!

Overall it should run fine.

I have an Asus UX303LA with quite similar specs and the things I had to tweak to make them work were the hotkeys for the display brightness and the keyboard back light (see this link for a workaround for the keyboard backlight issue if you experience it: https://askubuntu.com/a/701145/474849).

The gestures on the touch pad might also need some tweaking...

Hope this helps!

The main issues with Ubuntu tend to be with wireless cards and Nvidia or AMD graphics cards. Since the Asus F555LA-AB31 got good reviews, and the only differences in the models are HDD and processor (components which are generally very well-supported under Linux), I'd say go for it!
