This is great! I picked up a Razer 2016/1060 a couple months ago and have been running Ubuntu on it since then.
There's been a few issues, but overall it's been a great machine to transition to after a decade of Mac usage. If you're interested, it will require a bit of configuration (and even then its not 100% perfect just yet). See here for a list of issues/solutions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jI2jlVi1V0H8SeNm5kspJ1qXVtibLOnxNOkDr8ExoSI/edit#heading=h.nkiewtcyw910 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jI2jlVi1V0H8SeNm5kspJ1qX...)
Feel free to ask any questions if you're curious about picking one up!
- danjoc 10y agoOhhh, nice doc :D Looks like you found a few solutions that I haven't. Thanks for sharing!
- rohall 10y agoNo problem! Just to be clear, I can't take credit for the content of the doc or starting it, but I've found it very useful. If you have a solution / issue that isn't listen - please add it as a comment on the doc :).
- gshulegaard 10y agoOnce upon a time I installed Ubuntu on either first gen or second gen "Razer Blade" (since rebranded the "Pro"/17 inch) and the only real issue I had with it was the keyboard would send double input. Found someone who had put together a custom driver patch and it became usable. I have been looking at the Razer Blade and the Alienware 13" recently and have been leaning towards the Alienware since I can replace the WiFi card...but if Razer brings 1st class support for Linux systems then I will have a much harder decision to make when I start looking again.
- projektir 10y agoThank you so much for this! I have a 2016 and I'm still struggling with Optimus, will definitely be looking at that link.
