Hi everyone, Linux noob. I am installing Ubuntu on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-33. I was wondering if anyone had advice regarding drivers as the toughbooks have quite a few I/O ports, dual cameras, cellular antennas, and attached keyboard etc. Any advice is appreciated or even resources on where I could go to learn more about Ubuntu. Thanks everyone, take care.

I had a Tough Book that I had to run a one-liner script on boot so I could have sound. It was something to do with alsamixer. I remember that I couldn't get any audio out of the silly thing without that script unless I plugged in and then removed headphones. Loved that machine though!

    As of right now, audio is working! This is my 3rd toughbook and I’ve been super happy with them. I have put them through hell with travel, heat/cold, high altitude and the elements and they’ve been nothing but durable. Clunky yes, but I appreciate em. I’m happy to have something other than windows running on them but now I’m trying to get wine setup and running some of the niche applications.
