footnote 9 - Intel support for AMT varies by distribution and requires additional software packages be added to the base OS. Please check with the distribution vendor you have interest in.
footnote 3 - AMD Radeon Pro graphics are supported by the amdgpu-pro driver stack. An 18.10 or later driver is recommended for this platform. Some OS distributions may have the amdgpu-open driver built in. AMD pro driver
support for Ubuntu 18.04 is available.
footnote 4 - HP recommends use of NVIDIA driver 390.77 (or newer) on NVIDIA graphics options.
footnote 5 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution. Any use of the TPM module requires additional software.
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, please visit http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 8 - Intel 9560 Wireless support for WLAN on Ubuntu 16.04.5 is currently not functional due to firmware version incompatibility (although Bluetooth is supported on this release). The Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release stream is
fully functional for integrated WLAN and Bluetooth.
footnote 7 - On the performance model, the NVIDIA and AMD GPUs support a maximum of only four DisplayPort outputs in any combination of connections (one of which may require an adapter to accommodate displays).
Heterogenous use of the Intel graphics port is not recommended until general improvements are made in Linux for heterogeneous GPU support.
footnote 2 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver and modesetting driver on v8 processors (CoffeeLake) is not available for most release streams as of this edition of
the table.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP Z2 Mini G4 Workstation
Performance & Entry models
Certifications pending.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar
choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
