    We can't test your hardware, but you can! Try a live session and find out for yourself if the hardware is automatically supported. You don't need to be connected to the internet during system installation, but it does help to ensure that you have the right drivers and it helps reduce the amount of updates you will need to do immediately after installation. – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 03:57
  • I have ubuntu loaded to a 4gb Pendrive, can I use it to try a live session? Thanks for the help. – gpamangkp Sep 18 '20 at 04:32
  • A live session is loaded fully into RAM. It won't alter anything on your device unless you instruct it to. – Nmath Sep 18 '20 at 07:09
  • I tested a live session with Pendrive. It worked fine. I checked whatever I remembered like wifi, Bluetooth, ethernet, sound, etc. All these were working fine. Also, the drivers were detected automatically. So, can I fully load into my computer? It showed no problem while trying ubuntu. – gpamangkp Sep 19 '20 at 02:43
  • Sounds like you'll have no issues running Ubuntu! If you encounter an issue during installation, you can ask! – Nmath Sep 19 '20 at 05:37
  • I installed ubuntu without any problem. But when I boot the system, it shows a series of starting process with OK written. Is it normal or do i need some to work on it? – gpamangkp Sep 20 '20 at 05:02
  • Yes that's normal! You can hide it if you really want but make backups of any configs you change just in case you break something. For more info on the "verbose" booting see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/248/how-can-i-show-or-hide-boot-messages-when-ubuntu-starts – Nmath Sep 20 '20 at 08:16
  • Thanks @Nmath. I was afraid whether my system will support ubuntu or not. Your idea made me confident of installing ubuntu. – gpamangkp Sep 20 '20 at 12:46
