This is literally the laptop I use for testing Linux distributions (distributions are like flavors or collections of certain programs to make a complete operating system that is customized somewhat for what the distro maker's ideals are), but the point is I use it because it is so compatible with any version or flavor of Linux, it just works cleanly and easily right out of the box. Although I would recommend updating the BIOS to the latest 2019 release, it isn't absolutely necessary. This laptop might not work well under Windows 10, but it works exceptionally well under Linux as both the Intel iGPU and the dedicated AMD HD 7650M are full supported directly in the Linux kernel without any need for additional drivers. I joined this forum just to reply to this thread. I know this thread is a year old, but thought I would share this with you. I always did clean installation of the driver using AMD cleanup utility and/or DDU. My computer always use the Intel chipset. I even tried the leshcat drivers when the site was still up. I tried the lastest drivers for my GPU on the AMD website. I installed all the drivers corresponding to my laptop from the HP website. I can't seem to configure switchable graphics on my laptop. I currently have installed AMD Catalyst Control Center Version 2015.0215.2138.37093Īnd Intel HD Graphics Graphics's driver version 9. I know this is a bit of a recuring topic but I'm out of things to do.ĭisplay: Generic PnP Monitor on Intel HD Graphics 3000
