For this, "basic" _ex_cludes hibernation and suspend as well as accelerated graphics. I have no idea whether recent Windows tunings (no proper shutdown, SSD caching a rotating disk, ...) will cause trouble. I'm running a T530 with dual-boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (to be upgraded soon) without any issues. I intentionally avoided additional graphics controllers. > > I got the 4K screen along with the nvidia MX150. The MX150 is what gives > me pause I know nvidia isn’t known for good Linux support. From following the literature, my impression is that this is mostly distribution-dependent. I don't expect Debian to spend effort on integrating a non-free Nvidia driver into their distribution, but AIUI Ubuntu does. I have no idea about the others (Fedora, OpenSuSE, ...).
