All components function normally, except:
a. have not tested the NVidia GPU, but the INTEL controller is perfect
b. have not tested card reader, but is recognized
c. shutdown/restart fails. Working on it...

Everything works! Connecting to the wireless Canon printer necessitated a little tweaking but otherwise no problems. I have been playing with various flavors of Linux for a decade and this was the most painless installation ever.

Samsung Notebook 7 Spin (NP750QUA) Works only with version 18.10.

Keyboard lighting does not work. Must have kernel 4.18 or newer to work to boot Ubuntu.

UPDATE:

UBUNTU 18.04.2 with Kernel 4.18 WORKS.
Keyboard lighting still doesn't work.

TOUGHBOOK by Painasonic will never be able to use standby or hibernate function and linux - except maybe once? (Ubuntu 18.04lts) Now limited by 32-bit architecture, and older style hardware, to any upgrade. Graphics has glitch that hitting alt-f2 and pasting "setsid gnome-shell --replace" then enter resets it w/o glitch. ...otherwise a nice linux box used mainly for internet and other non-serious stuff nice 64bit XP runs serious stuff (high end games, modeling, cadd, etc) and never goes online.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64
Macbook Pro 5,4 (Mid 2009) NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

- Wiped out OSX so I didn't use any refind or such.
- Brightness does not work but putting xbacklight now works (the brightness slider isn't found in the Power settings, I have yet to find a solution).

Asus ZenBook S UX391 (UX391UA-ET012T)

Ubuntu 22.04

* There's no driver for the fingerprint reader and there's seems to be little progress so probably won't work in the foreseeable future.

* Suspend, hibernate and even blanking the screen causes the computer to freeze. From what I can tell it is because there's a hardware bug in the intel cpu/gpu (Kaby Lake Refresh) and the i915 driver doesn't take care of it. To make the system usable you have to disable screen blanking and suspend, or the computer will crash. There's a workaround though: add the kernel parameter i915.enable_dc=0 With it the computer seems very stable (it affects the battery-life negatively but it's better than having no suspend/hibernate/screen blanking).

You can add the option permanently by editing the file /etc/default/grub, and adding i915.enable_dc=0 to the end of the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT After saving the file run sudo update-grub.

* You can improve battery life by writing a percentage to the the file /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold (the battery might be named something else).
