You have to use the open source drivers

Have you booted a live USB or DVD to see what does and doesn't work? That should be a reasonable place to start. Performance may be a bit sluggish but at least you'll have an idea about wifi, audio, hot keys, that sort of thing.

Check the 'additional drivers' tab in software and updates and make sure to select the appropriate driver (try to use the open source driver) and then apply changes.
