I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop (dv6-6b55er). Can I install the latest Ubuntu (13.04) without having any problems such as missing drivers, performance.. etc. Any advise is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
As per Ubuntu, HP Pavilion dv6 is Ubuntu certified hardware.
Check out the list of HP hardware being certified here.
DV6 is certified by Ubuntu for
Chipset:
Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1
Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4
So most of the stuff should run out of the box for you. However as @Rinzwind has mentioned, please try using a live CD/USB before installing it on the laptop.
Ubuntu recommends Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64-bit as recommended version. Keep in mind the certification notes
Slow resume from suspend This system does not not meet our performance criteria for resuming from suspend, but suspend/resume is functional and other functionality is not affected.
