I have a Lenovo Ideapad y510p [newegg] with a i7 4700MQ [ark]. Cost me $999 when I bought it too (got $50 back after price match with Amazon bringing cost down to $950). Anyways, I play with VirtualBox a lot as well and would love to know more about compatibility with Linux. I am on Fedora 26 for my base os (that I am typing this on) now and nVidia proprietary drivers have been nothing but trouble so I just stick with whatever the distro comes with. I would like to know about the progress with SR_IOV as well. I've never had an AMD processor but would definitely welcome some competition. AMD, if you're reading having graphics drivers "mainline" in the Linux kernel would be a huge plus. Thank you!
