Thanks Greg

Depending of the day and plasma5 vapor, I'm a happy/unhappy owner of a Dell Precision M7510 Laptop since last december. It has a generous Xeon Skylake inside (yes a Xeon inside a lappy) 32Gb ram a intel gpu M530 (optimus) disabled in bios a Nvidia M200M quadro with 5 GB of ram a 4k display and I've took the challenge to bought the option 1TB M2 pcie SSD

There's not that much trouble to use it as main storage you should find it under /dev/nvme0n1

It's just fantastic and insane, with mine I got a ~1.8GB read and ~1.4GB write :-) It make my previous ssd crucial looking like a Ford T ...

you have a advanced package to install : nvme which will help you to grab smart-log and other advanced commands.

Still I don't know how much time it will survive, but in the meantime what a cool thing.

Have fun.

I'm already getting psyched!

Since your machine is Skylake based, it would be great to know if the 4.4 LTS Kernel provides full support.

I understand 4.4.0 didn't but there have been a lot of back ports done, so who knows now.

I've got the 4.4.11 default kernel RPM for Tumbleweed in:

Unfortunately, I will not be able to try that one a few day before my holidays :-) Even today with 4.5.4 or 4.6.0 not everything work, the bluetooth failed and also the dell_laptop (not directly concerned) module is failing keyboard backlight etc. I've seen move in the direction... If you have to use the intel gpu, I fear you need the lastest kernel/mesa/xorg (especially with 4k screen) And my advise is check at least every month your mfg support website, for newer bios. My Dell got 8 upgrade since January, and lot of changelog is firmware upgrade. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
