Hi all
My venerable desktop, which has run Kubuntu since Hardy, finally died a few days ago. I had replaced motherboard, memory, HDD, and the power supply twice, though still the same Athlon CPU. Posting this from an even more ancient box running Lubuntu.
My favourite computer shop, when asked about a well-performing machine, has suggested an Intel Skylake i7 in a H170 chipset motherboard from Gigabyte, to get support for new fast bits like USB 3.
The skylake parts only came out recently, can anyone pass remarks about compatibility with Kubuntu? Or give pointers as to how I would find out? (Google has not helped me.)
