Two questions:
(1) Is anyone here running a late version of Fedora on the new Dell Precision 7520 (or 5520)?
I'm running Fedora 25 on a Precision 5520. I did get the Core i5 CPU and the 1080p screen, because I didn't want to mess with NVIDIA drivers and/or Optimus.
(2) I ordered the 7520 with a cheap disk drive. It will come with Ubuntu installed. I intend to replace the drive with a M.2 PCIe 1TB SSD card (Samsung PM961). How do I do a "disk copy" to the SDD so that the machine will boot Ubuntu from it? (Once I confirm things are working, I will blow away Ubuntu and install F25 if the answer to (1) is not negative.
The easiest way will be to boot from a "live CD" on a USB thumdrive and copy the disk contents (or significant parts thereof) to a USB SDD or over the network.
