Linux Compatibility Dell Precision 5520
I'm finding different issues in this forum related to Ubuntu OS that comes pre-installed with Dell Precision 5520.
Does the Dells pre-installed Ubuntu OS comes up with any non-free software? Is the hardware in the laptop compatible if I install latest generic version of Ubuntu ie version 17.04?

These are the Ubuntu minimum specs:
- 700 MHz processor (about Intel Celeron or better)
- 512 MiB RAM (system memory)
- 5 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)
- VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
- Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media
- Internet access is helpful
