Because linux is mostly a Free Open-Source Software OS it should run perfectly fine on this machine.  Usually manufactures dont provide drivers for linux because a good majority are built right in and most of the time Linux just works.  just remember to turn secure boot off and turn legecy boot on for the best compatability.
