I've been doing a lot of research but I can't seem to find an answer to this question.A plethora of laptops exist that do work well with Linux (I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, but if an answer is available for other Linuxes, it's fine); that I know. Some even include a builtin 4k monitor that works fine.  What seems very hard to get reliable information about is: Which current (November 2016) portable laptop (max 14 inches, max 2.5kg/5.5lbs weight) can support an external 4k (3840x2160) displayport 1.2 monitor @60Hz, either directly or via an adapter/dock which is confirmed to work reliably?There seem to be an issue with modern laptops with USB-C-to-DP adapters or docks that aren't properly recognized by Ubuntu, and I'd like an hassle-free solution - in many forums about Dell XPS/Latitude/Inspiron I've seen people saying that sometimes they were able to work it out with custom kernels or arcane configurations, but I use my laptop for work and I don't want to waste too much time at configuring my laptop.PLEASE NOTE: I expect exact make and models that can be actually bought today in Europe. Don't suggest me the specs, I already know what I'd like, but it seems that the requirements are conflicting enough that I cannot find a brand new laptop that has all of them at the same time.
Which laptop for Linux with 4k external monitor?
