Does anyone know if Ubuntu Mate will work with Intel’s 8th gen processor installed on the new z370 motherboards? Both are due out this week and I want to be sure I can install Mate on them.
I’m not sure to be honest. I do know most intel stuff is up to speed on linux. You may just want to wait a couple weeks after it’s release, i’m sure there will be some write-ups on it.

For all those interested, here is a link to testing:

However, he says: “With Linux 4.13~4.14, you need to set i915.alpha_support=1 to enable this “alpha” quality driver support for Coffee Lake.”
I have no idea how to do that, anyone know?
You will need to set this up in grub. Press e to edit grub and right after the line that ends in
ro quiet splash add space i915.alpha_support=1
then press F10 and boot from the temporarily edited grub. At least that’s what I’d try first. That’s assuming that you’ve downloaded that driver after booting to something less than perfect and rebooted. Good luck kreasonos1.

If you have lagging issue with ubuntu + intel 8th gen + z370 motherboard use the next commands in you terminal:
sudo gpkg -i *.deb
I’ve installed a new kernel (trying version 4.14, 4.15, … generic and low latency) but when restart with this kernels the mouse movement is delayed and the system is unstable. Could mainline versions cause this issue?
Solved, finally I’ve installed the PCIe graphics cards drivers and put off the integrated graphics and the system works well.
