Oh, I wouldn't flame you.
Hmm, I didn't think of using a virtual machine. The Lenovo has a NVidia 960MX, so I wonder if it would fully work under a virtual machine.
The reason why I ask is that I do systems adminstration with meteorological software that requires OpenGL 2.0 and at least 2GB of video ram.
Thank you for your reply, Mike.

Probably not. Normally virtual machine does not have that level of possession of hardware. At least Sun-Oracle Virtual Box doesn't. Somebody may correct me if I'm wrong here. If I were to do it, I would choose as host system the system your software requiring OpenGL is available for. And add other systems you need in virtual machines. Laptops, though powerful these days, still not the best choice for virtual machines IMHO.

Hello Brain,
for such new software you go with Centos 7. The older version is more rocket stable, but in case you use such new laptop the newer one is the better / best choice.
You need to upgrade the kernel, there is no way out. Centos deliver „only“ 2.6 or 3.10.
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt or http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml can fix this.
- Totem and multimedia isn’t work fully. Gstreamer is cut down.
Yesterday I installed my laptop with new hardware and most of it fully work, but it was hard to go. Why ? Take a look at my private repo http://centos.cms4all.org/centos/7/ What it does? Update Kernel, Drivers, Mesa , GStreamer, Gutenprint (printers). I’m liite bit of centos 7 and in this parts I’m on my own.
Don’t flame me - Ubuntu LTS 16.04 is on the way and this should work for you.
The new nvidia series 9 will come with kernel 4.5 as i know (open source part)
Greatings

I'm surprised that no one has suggested Fedora instead of Ubuntu. You've got the same bleeding-edge software, but in something that's a lot more familiar for CentOS users. I use Fedora 23 on my laptop, and many of out-of-tree packages I maintain build side-by-side with CentOS7.

Marvellous! Thank you Jonathan! I always was using Fedora in the past when CentOS wasn't covering all hardware on laptops. But for long time already CentOS just works (like mackintosh, only better ;-), so I don't need to fall back to Fedora...
