Hangs for 20-30s when loading ACPI modules when on battery power. Nevertheless, the Linux community has successfully worked out methods for installing and maintaining Linux on some HP systems. Generally it is easiest to avoid HP when seeking out hardware that interoperates with Linux. To the extent that HP shows no interest in supporting Linux, the Linux community may reasonably take a reciprocal position of not supporting HP. The official Linux support page is geared toward dissuading the use of Linux, and generally full of strange statements like 'Windows is not installed with Linux', which conflates operating system software with any other software.

Although HP has published some printer drivers for Linux, the company generally makes very little or no effort to ensure that components used in its desktop and laptop computers are compatible with Linux. These whitelists are barely acknowledged by HP, and are not officially documented anywhere, making replacing components with anything other than exactly the same model a shot in the dark. Any component model that is not listed in the whitelist is rejected by the BIOS.

One example is whitelists which are embedded into the BIOS of some devices.

HP has historically not only not been friendly towards Linux, but has gone out of its way to make systems incompatible with operating systems other than Microsoft Windows.
