Kind of related: I own and still use an HP laptop that came with 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM and 16 GB of Intel Optane memory. When MS told all of us that Win 10 was moving away from support, I decided to format and install Ubuntu. I have lots of experience with Linux, so it was gonna be a piece of cake.
Wrong! To my great surprise Linux wouldn't load, even after trying three different versions of Linux. After doing a massive search on the internet, I finally found a post that said I should crack open the case and remove the Optane chip, which I did. Presto, Linux was loaded and working fine!
