Does the Envy 15 notebook play well with Linux?

I'm considering buying an Envy 15t-yc4d notebook. I just can't find that model in this site but, based on the specs, it is extremely similar to the Envy 15t-j100 Quad Edition notebook.

 

I've always been a Debian Linux user and have always bought Dell products as they are very compatible with Linux. I wanted to know what was your experience with Linux and this notebook.

 

Some of the things that usually bring trouble are:

  1. Wireless network drivers
  2. Video (this model has an integrated Intel HD 4600 graphics card as well as an nVidia GeForce GT 740M). I wonder if they are properly switched in Linux.
  3. Touchpad not working or unable to understand gestures
  4. Not all keyboard keys are recognized

 

If you have an Envy 15 and you've tried to install some Linux flavour I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

 

Thanks in advance.
