<p>I have been using an HP dv7 2022 at work for almost a year now. Works fine under Ubuntu if you make sure to have the correct video drivers. Mine detected the wrong one and I had to manually install the correct driver. </p>
<p>The fan can be loud under extreme load but I have never had mine shut down. Every so often though the machine will not shut down normally and I have to froce it to shut down. I like that it has a second drive bay in it which now has a solid state drive. Beware, last I checked, memory for these is on the high side.</p>

I found an HP Pavilion g7-2022us for $500, which seems like a good-enough deal, but I plan to just overwrite the Windows OS with Ubuntu. I'm wondering if any of you have experience with these HP Pavilions. Do they run OK with Ubuntu or other Linuxes? Are there any sticking points?<br>
<br>
TIA.<br>
