Does this hardware works with linux
 

Hello everyone,

I pretend acquire this hardware:

1-Motherboard Asus Skt1151 - H110M-A/M.2 (https://www.asus.com/pt/Motherboards...cifications/);
2-Intel i5 6400 2.7Ghz QuadCore Skt1151;
or
2-Intel i5 6500 3.2Ghz QuadCore Skt1151;
3-Dimm 8GB DDR4 Kingston CL15 2133Mhz;

Obvious I pretend use penguin because I use Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I like simplicity and like save resource hardware to another tasks. My question is if this setup it is totally compatible with Linux (debian, ubuntu, etc).
How I should research about this theme in google?

Thanks

Welcome to the forums! You might find this list helpful: https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop/

I know this website. But I can't understand this system! I don't know how search my board. I should search board, cpu or all peace?

Meanwhile I can't find the motherboard "H110M-A/M.2" (https://certification.ubuntu.com/des...ategory=Laptop).

thanks

A homemade computer you build yourself will not be Ubuntu Certified (obviously) but if you use similar components to the certified hardware, you have a greater chance of success.

I purchased an H170 a year ago and had no problems installing Gentoo on it. Linky.
You sure you want i5? My 3.7 GHz i3 will outperform your i5 doing everyday tasks which mostly run on a single thread. Only when occasionally doing some HVEC encoding I think full four cores would speed it up somewhat. In other words, if you do not use frequently applications that utilize four cores there is no benefit spending extra on an i5.

It's intel based. Probably compliant as all get out. It is when you get into wifi components and video cards and sd card reader inserts for the tower. A little research may be needed.

For Ubuntu. Use

For any research for hardware compatibility questions you may have.

I got older system then that and it runs Linux NP. ....

Google "Linux Skylake".
These are 6th generation Intel chpis (aka Skylake). They need newer kernel/video drivers (Kernel 4.5 or higher, Mesa 12 or higher + intel firmware) to work properly.

I have al Skylake laptop (i7-6820 and it works ok with Debian Testing (kernel 4.8.7, xorg 1.18.4, newish xorg intel driver).
Now it works well for standard workloads and video playback (can play back 4k with hw decoding with ~15-17 %cpu), but its mediocre with opengl (games on steam are much slower and have artifacts).
It also has lesser glitches on the desktop. For tearfree playback you need to explicitly modify xorg.conf.
I use the laptop for work and it is pretty much stable.
But my A8-6500 series AMD IGP from home desktop is much better in any regard (especially opengl) except hw decoding size (it can do only 1920x1080, it's hardware limited).

Note the 4.8 series of kernels, which have been out for a good while, work absolutely perfectly with anything Skylake.

xorg.conf tearfree will help. Compton will have a great impact as well. Don't know how feasibe that one is on stock Ubuntu. I'd hate to mess with it's Unity thingamajig.
