Subject: [DNG] [Q] Devuan on HP Zbook Studio G3 Mobile Workstation
Hi all,

Looking at the device mentioned in the subject for use at the office
with Devuan. If anyone has any experience with this device, I'd like to
know. Installation notes, brain dumps, everything welcome.

I've done some homework already and found notes on the ArchLinux wiki as
well as elsewhere that seem to suggest installing any Linux is somewhat
of an uphill battle. Some hardware may only be partially supported and
getting external monitors to work might be non-trivial.

I gather that a kernel version >= 4.5 is needed, so that would imply
jessie-backports (has 4.9.0) which is fine with me. If need be, running
with ascii would be acceptable (I've been using stretch for ages :-).

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide,
