Hi, new here. I got this laptop back in february, I want to switch to it. Ubuntu is installed, might be in 6th partition, but the problem is some drivers aren't there. The "no sound" key doesnt light up, there's no B&o drivers for it. It runs smooth with the automatic drivers installed. I dont really have a reason by using ubuntu, but one thing i am sure about is that i want to learn some programming. i started Python, until i reached a subject that i couldnt understand, that's way off the subject.
My question is from where i can get the drivers for this model.
Thanks,
Daniel

I'm sorry, but HP does not provide support for Linux distros -- including boot and installation issues.
IF you replace the preloaded Windows OS with a Linux distro, or add a Linux distro, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- including solving any problems with booting the other OS and/or installing the other OS.
Modern PCs with UEFI, instead of the older BIOS, are especially difficult to install because you have to go into the UEFI settings and make several changes before you can even boot from a USB stick -- and we are unable to assist in that work.
Your best bet for support now is to contact the support forum of the distro you are using.
Since you are using Ubuntu, go here: https://ubuntuforums.org/
Good Luck
