 it's outlined in the report why they don't: 4.8.* does not allow the
proprietary nvidia kernel to load.  given that i need 3D rendering for
use with openscad (which runs under optirun successfully) i do
actually need the GTX 1060 up and running.

 4.7 however worked perfectly.

 3.16 was too old to recognise the *intel* skylake graphics.

 yes, 4.7.8 worked.

 yeah.  just tested the camera (works great)... audio's 2W per channel
and one of the best i've heard on a laptop, ever.  s2disk: works.
s2ram: works.

 my only main serious concern is that when the ethernet port is
active, the PCIe bus on which the NVMe is plugged in goes haywire, and
throws up "severe (corrected)" errors.  i've got a question out to
aorus about that and will update the report accordingly.  it appears
to be benign... so far.
