Well I just bought this computer and I thought I would share my experience. I would be happy to answer any questions. I looked around quite a bit before I installed Ubuntu and there wasn't a lot of information. I think the most important thing is that Ubuntu 24.10 with the latest kernel 6.11 or later is what you must have with this computer. So this computer would have been a real headache last month but is working really great at the moment. Let me post the specs.

The install kind of sucked because it kept hanging at select your keyboard. I googled it and I read that it had something to do with networking so I went into the UEFI/Bios settings and I turned off networking and began the install again. Then it hung up at time zone selection but this could have been not realizing that you have to press inside the time zone drop down. I think I was expecting it to auto populate as the old installer used to do. It may not have found the time zone as networking was turned off. I waited so long I got a message about NVIDIA graphics timeout so I retried again in safe graphics mode. Then the install completed. After that I had to reboot and go back into the bios to turn networking back on. So the install works but has a few hang ups.
But this computer is working great now. Let me now if you have any questions.
"working great" apply's to me and what works for me. there are a few more issues but it's something I am okay with until newer kernels arrive in the future and some of these items get fixed. I will add a list here below.
The backlight pulsates but is working.
Volume level cannot be controlled. If you adjust the slider you get sound at one level or you can slide it off. I don't think the tweeters are working so it's only the sub woofers. Sounds fine but taking advantage of the speakers not really at this point.
Bluetooth is not working.
Wayland works but is buggy so i would recommend selecting Xorg session before logging in.
I will come back and edit if I find anything else.
