I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know?

It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it...

Swaziboy,

Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.

Swaziboy,

I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn’t work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There’s a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I’ll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.
