Everything works out-of-the-box (including Fn. keys, Wifi, Bluetooth) except for Nvidia OPTIMUS wich needs the help of Bumblebee to work.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64

nVidia Proprietary Graphics Card Driver integration

Wireless Driver used

Novatech Elite N1535

Laptop

Notes:

Out of the box 12.04 LTS 64 installed fine, just the need for Wireless driver really. If you want to utilise the graphics card you will need to install Bumblebee 3.0 (at the time of writing)

1)12.10
2)HP
3)dv9000, specific configuration: dv9340ea.
What works:
- mostly everything, including the HP ExpressCard DVB-T Tv Tuner that came with it, provided you install the software required for DVB viewing (mythtv, etc.)
- this model did not come with a compact, expresscard-sized remote, but rather a separate, large remote control with a usb receiver, both worked fully when setup.
- The 'dvd' and 'quickplay' buttons can be binded in gnome-control-center, but none of the non-volume media keys work out of the box ( meaning play, stop, seek, etc. ). Volume control buttons do work out of the box.
- Recommend using the nvidia-current driver, this model came with a GeForce Go 7600.

1. Ubuntu 12.10
2. HP
3. Pavilion g6-2214so

I had the usual struggle to boot from the DVD, but disabling everything that resembled UEFI, EFI, secure boot and such made it workable - and adding 5 seconds to POST was necessary to be able to press F9 during boot.
I have the preloaded W8 side by side, but Linux never shows unless boot is interrupted with F9. Fair enough.
Wireless worked out of the box, the fan pumps out a lot of hot air and battery time is less than half of the advertised time. CUPS driver for my Samsung ML-2168W printer does not work as downloaded from Samsung, even though all other criteria is met...

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

Running all good with Gnome 3 as my WM and AMD propritary drivers on for HD 5650.
Everything works fine exept second monitor.

OK. I guess I'll be the first. I know this isn't even beta, but I was desperate.

1. Ubuntu 13.04
2. Toshiba
3. Satellite U845-S406

From the day I bought this ultrabook it was clear that I could not use Ubuntu on it... until now!

Any derivative of Ubuntu (both 12.04 and 12.10) would overheat, lock up, and shut down my Satellite. I had to use OpenSuse because Fedora would not recognize certain hardware without jumping through some hoops.

I was desperate to get back to Ubuntu, so I figured, "Why not try the most recent and unreleased?" 13.04 has run perfectly so far. It seems to have the right kernel and driver fixes to keep it running at an optimal temperature. Unlike 12.04 & 12.10, 13.04 recognized my Ivybridge graphics immediately (from the live thumb drive... the other two simply said unknown, even after the installation).

Some good things on the horizon with 13.04 it seems!
