Thanks

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:
/repositories/home:/gregfreemyer:/Kernel:/LTS/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64

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.
