Ok people, I got pic related for cheap. Will come with a Win

Install Gentoo

I don't even know where to begin actually

I have exactly this laptop, windows 10 works but you do have to fix wireless drivers, download all the drivers from Asus website (also for other windows versions) and try until it works, I'm using Win 8.1 driver on Win 10 now.

I would not recommend Linux, it has a lot of driver issues (wireless, sound, touchpad) and it's a bit of a hassle to even install it. Check the arch wiki about it if you want.

>thinking about "ubgrading" to winshit10
sweet lord i'm scared for you

If there are win10 drivers for that model, you can ypgrade it. Otherwise some of the hardware might not work or work well.

Pick a linux distro, try it out. Most of them should work. But again, if it's missing drivers some hardware might not work.

Oh but 64bit won't work on it, even though the CPU is 64bit the rest isn't. Windows 10 32bit is your best option.

Ok thanks,
wow that sucks donkey's D.
Ok that's not a problem since there's little RAM, but anyway

Good luck with it.

If you want to try a Linux distribution on another computer, use Ubuntu at first to get used to it btw.

>>57136372
Thanks
Anyway will first try to get Win 10. I know the free upgrade is overdue tho, is there any workaround?
I mean, they seems like they wanted even bycicles running on Win 10, can I still change it?

>>57135907
You're probably going to have to disable secure boot first before you can boot another OS. It's a chore so I'd start with that.

>>57136974
K thanks for the advice

>>57136852
Yeah, look up Windows 10 assistive upgrade, it's a legit loophole.

>>57135907
I actually have one of these. Running Arch Linux with XFCE, haven't gotten around to configuring it.

I was running Xubuntu on it just fine before this as well. The only thing that doesn't work is audio, but they're making progress.

Just like >>57136125 said, check the Arch Wiki. You'll need to mess around with GRUB since Asus decided to use a 32bit EFI for a 64bit CPU.

>>57136171
Lol. I raged for like 4 hours trying to figure out wtf was wrong when I tried to upgrade my tf100. Fuck Asus... We had 64bit chips back in like 2004. For Asus to not think things through in 2013 is ridiculous. Sure, the things are all limited to 2gb of ram, but I don't want to keep multiple versions of software around when everything else I use runs the 64bit version.

Actually the cpu is 64 bit, but the uefi only boots 32 bits images because intel jews. Install rEFInd, it's the only bootloader that works

Yep, goggle'd it. IMHO they want that Win10 push still going. Pic related mfw they find out.

>>57141180
thanks will investigate on this

>>57135907
I had the same one until I lost it to water damage while traveling, I replaced it with an HP stream 11 which turned out to be better in every way: It's exactly the the same hardware but better keyboard, better touchpad, mate screen, no undeletable recovery partition, no weird 32 bit bootloader that makes that makes building a bootable linux image a pain. You might need to upgrade the wifi drivers on some models (it's well documented) but that's it. Last time I checked the x205 even lacked sound drivers for linux. Imo you might want go look intro the stream instead.

begin by downloading the livedvd
