I just want to confirm before buying a new computer that the processor is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04. The processor: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/191035/intel-xeon-e-2276g-processor-12m-cache-3-80-ghz.html

How can I check if this processor is compatible with the Ubuntu 16.04?

Usually, the intel processor type is the least of your worries when installing in a new computer. as an example, graphics chips can often be problematic. linux-hardware.org is a good place to start, as well as others.

You will probably need to disable secure boot, so check with the manufacturer's site.

  • window mgrs other than kde have similar tools. also, unless you have a good reason to use 16.04, you might consider using 18.04 - it's the current LTS (long term support) version. – wmm Jan 10 '20 at 17:35
