All the special function keys work, battery life is good, sleep works, etc. The only imperfection is that after I close the lid and it goes to sleep, when I reopen it, it forgets that I've disabled the trackpad, so I have to press the function button that disables the trackpad each time it comes back from sleep (I use an external mouse).
Which linux do you use? I really like how samsung series 9 looks like, and I suggested my friend to buy it three years ago. He also like the laptop, but he told me that he has some performance problems in ubuntu.

I've been using a Samsung Series 9 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082PZ1JU) with Linux for about three years and I've been very happy with the laptop.

I use ubuntu, and haven't noticed any performance issues. What sorts of things did your friend report?
Edit: I have a model with 8GB RAM and SSD, but some models have less RAM and solid-state drives.
