Can use both monitors on windows 10 and linux. On linux I haven't been able to install the newest drivers for the hdmi and the image has some tearing issues on video or when scrolling. Works well when I only use the display port monitor. On the latest version of Ubuntu the issues were too much so I had to downgrade again. I use two monitors and it does the job, but not as good as on the windows. Otherwise it's not bad. The fan noise is not much of an issue. Had to research a bit what memory and ssd to buy so it's compatible. The two below work well. I use two 1080P monitors Dell and Asus. AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 6 Feet for one monitor and hdmi for the other one. The AmazonBasics dp cable is better than the cablematters one you find with a higher rating because the Amazon is VESA certified.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013PWQPFS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Crucial MX300 275GB M.2 (2280) Internal Solid.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015YPB6HQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Crucial 16GB Single DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000)...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IAGSDJ0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
