    Question Seeking advice. Will ASUS drivers work on Kali Linux?

    Hello,

    I would like to buy an ASUS laptop and I would like to find out whether or not its drivers are included in the Kali linux (Ubuntu, Linux or Debian) distribution.

    Another thing that also troubled me is, when i navigated to the ASUS support site looking for drivers for the particular model, it only listed me with a "Windows 10" drivers.

    My question is, if i buy the laptop and install Kali linux on it (as a single OS), will its graphic card and wireless card drivers be identified by Kali?

    Will list some of its specifications below:

    Model: X556UJ-XO015T (90NB09T2-M01610)
    Processor: Intel Core i5-6200U 2.30 GHz
    Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 920M
    Wireless card: Realtek (Supports 802.11 b/g/n)

    Cheers.

    I can't say with certainty, but the video card is likely compatible out-of-the-box. The big question is the wireless: you'll need to know the exact chipset if you want to use kismet, aircrack-ng suite, etc. I'd plan on getting a compatible USB wifi card for best results.

    If you're not buying online, burn a Kali ISO, take it into the store with you, and ask to boot the laptop from it.
