And the best part - no bogus certs!

The only problem I've had is that suspend/resume (i.e. closing the lid) causes a kernel panic
I think it's time to apply a higher standard to "runs like a dream."
This is almost exactly what I've done to set up my machine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2301071&p=13382949#... . This thread claimed that the kernel v4.3 fixed this issue, but it still happens for me - I was going to wait until the next 4.4 RC to give it another whirl.
If your BIOS supports it choose 'sleep' rather than 'hibernate' for suspend/resume. It will be a bit slower but there is far less OS dependent magic going on under the hood.
