Hello,
I recently purchased an Alienware 15 laptop for work. The specifications of the laptop:
CPU: 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit English
Memory: 16GB DDR4 at 2400MHz
GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5 – 78W
My work requires Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Our IT team was able to put this version of Ubuntu on the laptop (with Unity Desktop Environment), however it was not at all straight forward and the laptop runs very slow overall.
Does anyone have any experience/advice for installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an Alienware 15 laptop? Are specific Desktop Environments better suited for this laptop?
Thanks!
