I can find no references to this part and Linux. Everything refers to
Windows (and the problems they're having with it).
This is supposed to be the latest, greatest, fastest, blabla, etc.
Anybody familiar with this re: Linux?
Assuming it doesn't have any glitches unique to it, Fedora has no
problem with an NVMe drive. So long as your BIOS / UEFI firmware
supports booting from it you should be good. If you use multiple
distros you may find support isn't universal yet. I know PCLinuxOS has
problems, they warned about it but I got it to install onto one with
some manual fussing. Don't really do a lot of Windows but yea, keep
hearing about it being a challenge there unless it is a vendor preload.
The PCLinuxOS was on a laptop with a preload of Win10 and it still dual
booted ok after the mucking around with UEFI. NVMe is a big break from
the old IDE drive world, really expected more breakage.
