Hello All

I've just purchased a lenovo p50 workstation and i want to make sure its fully supported by arch linux, a google search and a look at the arch wiki says it is supported but not confirmed however lenovo has said that ubuntu is fully supported along with redhat. Does that mean arch in theory should be fully supported ?

Should be fine.

Yes it will work fine. The life saver of the laptop is the Intel Wi-Fi card. Its drivers are built onto the kernel.

A word of advice if you don't already know, when you follow the arch wiki, don't forget to install Xorg, NetworkManager, and Yaourt. It doesn't really mention in on the wiki installation page but those are essential (other wise when you boot into a D.E your trackpad, and your WiFi wont work from the GUI
