I own an HP-15-BS576TX laptop bought on October 2017 in India, which has the same specifications as yours minus the processor which is Intel 7200U Core i5 (7th gen). For me, except Bluetooth, everything is working fine with Ubuntu 17.10. Keyboard shortcuts (volume control etc).
- Yes, it runs fine on Ubuntu. Prior to installation of Linux operating system, Enable UEFI, Disable Secure Boot, Disable Legacy support.
- I have explained how I installed the WiFi driver in this page: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/Realtek-8723DE-wifi-module-amp-Bluetooth-Linux-driver/m-p/6477307/highlight/true#M146067
For Bluetooth also, firmware is available, but no one to guide. rtlwifi-new maintainer has said that he cannot help with bluetooth. But, it will also get supported probably soon. The error message is some "hci0: didn't find patch for chip id 2".
