    What do you guys think? Got mixed feelings about Killer 1535 in AW15 - amazing pings (not sure to what extent due to the Killer card), but wireless disconnections have been a problem.

    I would go with the Intel. Intels work fine with Linux, Killers are a nightmare in Linux, so it's a bit of a dealbreaker for me. Plus, Intel generally has good drivers and I know that they know how to make good hardware.

    Good point. That's a consideration for me as well. How is your Clevo doing on Linux? Which model and distro?

    Works great on both my P377SM-A and P157SM-A, distro is Xubuntu 15.10 64-Bit. I still use Windows 10 90% of the time but the rest of the time I use Linux and I'm happy with it.

    That's a good link for people trying to use the killer card in Linux, thanks for that. I think I've seen more people still opt for the Intel card when installing Linux the majority of the time though. Seems to be easier to work with.
