Hi! from Argentina

[Lite-web]

Hello everybody. I'm quite novice in Linux and I want you could guide me. I plan to use a dual-boot between Windows 7 and Linux.
Now I'm noticed that Linux Lite don't support UEFI. But my question is: really Linux/Linux Lite support common hardware components (like leader brands ones in basic items like CPU, RAM, S.S.D., monitor and motherboard)? Cause if Linux don't support them it's a Linux fault and an essential flaw.
Please me let me know before buy my next PC  :-\

Hello Lite-web,

Welcome to the forum

I have not dual-booted Windows and Linux, some members do this and can better answer about this.
In answer to your question, I have not had any problems with Linux Lite supporting, any CPU, RAM, monitor or motherboard I have used.
With UEFI I needed help to learn how to set up without UEFI and including the graphics drivers, I got this help on this forum.
On my first Linux desktop (Linux Lite) I also needed help to set up graphics, I also got this help on this forum.
The other desktops I had in between first and current, I had no difficulty with graphics and set it up myself.
I do not have an SSD internal hard drive.

One of my friends uses a laptop its hard drive is SSD, she had never used Linux before and set up Linux Lite herself in about 10 minutes with no problems at all, using only the LL homemade dvd I gave her.
On that laptop everything works straight away at install. Desktop, keyboard gimbal, trackpad, ethernet, wifi, externals, mouse, docking station.

External Hard Drive by WD My Passport red, I needed help to learn how to wipe the built in junk software it comes with for windows and macs, once this was done this hard drive works too.
Plug and play for me, were KVM switchbox, USB switchbox for mouse, USB switchbox for printer, graphics drawing tablet, HD video camera.

Hi [member=7986]Lite-web[/member]

In my experience, Linux Lite is very good at recognizing and supporting all kinds of hardware. A great way to test Linux Lite with your hardware is to use a live USB, making a flash drive bootable with Linux Lite, and using all parts of your computer in the test environment.

You don't understand. I will buy a new PC and I need to know in advance if the components that I choose are [u]compatible[/u] or not with Linux.  :-[

Are you buying the pc online or at a shop? Either way check the specs against our Hardware Database.

If I was to buy a new PC and wanted confirmation that it was compatable with LL4, I would make a 'LL4 Live' memory stick and ask for a demonstration that the PC would boot from it and test all appropriate hardware (wifi, video, sound, DVD drive etc) performs as expected. If the vendor is not prepared to do that then take your business elsewhere.
If you are buying individual components to build up a PC yourself, then that is a different proposition, you can't test till its built!

Hello and welcome [member=7986]Lite-web[/member] , what is going on in Argentina !

Linux supports almost everything, just give it a chance bro.

[Lite-web]

Yes, I will buy individual components so vendor builds me my PC. I can't test in advance if is Linux-compatible. But if you are sure that Linux it's compatible with majority of components, I will have hope.
I specially I'd like to know what's the support for SSD disks that have NVMe system.
Thx

Write me a private message about that, so we don't need to flood this site with a whole bunch of q/a ?
