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/1jI2jlVi1V0H8SeNm5kspJ1qX...)

Feel free to ask any questions if you're curious about picking one up!

Once 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.

Ohhh, nice doc :D Looks like you found a few solutions that I haven't. Thanks for sharing!

No 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 :).

Thank you so much for this! I have a 2016 and I'm still struggling with Optimus, will definitely be looking at that link.
