Linux on laptops: Ubuntu 19.10 on the HP Dragonfly Elite G1

The HP Dragonfly Elite is a great Windows laptop—but how well does it run Linux?

Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS didn't work out so well, because the Wi-Fi adapter didn't have an in-kernel driver. But the latest interim release—October 2019's Eoan Ermine—worked swimmingly. [credit: Jim Salter ]

Last month, Ars Associate Reviewer Valentina Palladino treated us to a thorough hands-on review of HP's ultra-sleek, ultra-chic Dragonfly Elite G1. Shortly afterward at CES, HP announced a second-generation Dragonfly Elite, the G2, with Ice Lake CPU, optional LTE modem, and more. We haven't had a chance to get our hands on the G2 yet—but while we wait, we wanted to evaluate the Elite G1 not only with the OEM Windows it ships with, but with a fresh Linux installation.

We can't evaluate a laptop with every possible Linux distribution, but in the case of noteworthy designs like the Dragonfly Elite, we want to at least see if one of the more popular distros installs cleanly, detects all the hardware, and is a good daily driver. Our first try was Ubuntu 18.04.3, "Bionic Badger," the most recent Long Term Support release of Ubuntu. For the most part, the installation went well—the keyboard and touchpad were responsive, the screen looked fine, and so forth—but unfortunately, the Intel Wi-Fi chipset used in the Dragonfly Elite is new enough that 18.04.3 doesn't have an in-kernel driver.

If you're a hardcore Linux type, that might not be enough to stop you—you have many possible options, such as installing a backported newer version of the Linux kernel—but we wanted to see if we could get a "just works" experience rather than a "percussive maintenance required" experience, so we regretfully shelved Ubuntu 18.04.3 and went to the newest interim Ubuntu release—October 2019's 19.10 "Eoan Ermine." Again, the actual installation went fine—but this time, we have Wi-Fi as well without touching a thing. Success!

The story of how Nintendo’s iconic logo escaped an “age-up” remake

The classic oval could have changed to “a graffiti style” or something “aged up.”

Enlarge / What might have happened to Nintendo's iconic logo had executives such as Reggie Fils-Aimé not stepped in? (credit: Aurich Lawson)

Reggie FIls-Aimé, Nintendo of America's popular former president, has begun making the rounds in interviews following his April 2019 retirement. And while he's still speaking fondly of his former gaming employer, his post-retirement position appears to be letting him spill more beans about his 15 years of leadership. This month, that includes a reveal of how he "put a stop" to at least one major change to the company: its logo.

Present Value, a podcast about business leadership recorded by Cornell University graduate students, interviewed Fils-Aimé on December 28 of last year. That episode was resurfaced by gaming video channel GameXplain on Sunday due to the executive's comment on the iconic, "racetrack" Nintendo logo, which has remained consistent since the company's rise as an arcade and console game producer in the 1970s.

The below comment from Fils-Aimé is transcribed from the December 28 episode:
