Latitude 5410 i3-10310u 1080p touchscreen Will the motherboard (part number f3r8h) with discrete graphics drop in if I buy the correct fan, heat pipes, and charger? Parts-people website says it's not compatible, but I have done this successfully in the past with a Latitude 7490 board into a...

Do I want the Ubuntu 16.04 drivers from Dell? Those are the only Ubuntu ones I see for this laptop.
