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.

Please remember to select the answer

Thanks for the help ! My only concern is not to spend money without being sure that the job I want will be done. An Hp Expert help would be extremely helpful.
