    Installed Linux Mint 18 on the 15R3. Had to swich from IGP to DGP before on Windows to avoid black screen after the installer's boot. Once installed it runs fine with both IGP or DGP.

    Just using 60Hz panels on these laptops? Not sure how Linux Mint would run on mine. The Optimus doesn't work due to the G-sync module. Don't think I've read about someone getting Linus to run on that.

    If it can....Hmmm.

    Is this the newest one with the Nvidia 1060? I run Antergos and was considering that laptop.

    Is Antergos compatible with PC gaming? I usually play starcraft and steam games, also League of legends!
