Type: Laptop System: Dell product: Latitude E4310 v: 0001 serial: N/A I don't think there's been a more versatile laptop from Lenovo since then. But it ran every distro I put on it like a champ. #INSTALL LINUX ON DELL XPS 10 TABLET WINDOWS#Nothing too heavy.īTW: I, too have a Lenovo X220 and it's my fave linux laptop of all time (and I have owned many)! I remember buying it new and wiping Windows off of it before I'd even booted it. I use it for VNC access over SSH to a large machine, so it kinda serves as a graphical terminal. It has an SSD, so it has fast swap space. Then I just installed it from the snapshot'd USB. I started with Antix-core and worked from there removing and adding what I needed on a larger laptop until I got the installation tuned. Have you thought of Antix17? I installed that on a tiny 2GB Sony Vaio that has a small atom. I thought about it, but only because if I ever had to send it back for warranty work, they'd expect to find it with Win 10 on it. I did not back up windows before nuking it. Tho, that would be handy if I ever use it with the keyboard detached. The battery is the most annoying, but I'm confident I'll get them solved with the help of the MX forum. These problems are inconvenient, but they're not crippling. So, I have no idea how much battery I have, and MX power management is obviously not conserving battery when it should. It can't sense the battery so it can't display the charge state. (Tho, of course I still have bluetooth, USB, and Thunderbolt audio to play with).Ģ) Power management is wonky. But the same files installed on the tablet itself - MX doesn't identify the card as bytcr-rt5640, and built-in audio doesn't work at all. Audio is mono and comes only from the left speaker. When I run MX and Antix from a USB stick (with the firmware and UCM files), it correctly recognizes the card as bytcr-rt5640. I found those on the inter-webs and installed them. It has a couple of glitches that I'm still working to solve:ġ) Audio is an Intel SST Audio / Realtek RT5640 variant, and while MX has the intel firmware already, it didn't have the requisite Alsa UCM files. It is much, much more responsive than the Win 10 it came with. 90% of everything is working great, but I admit it took some tinkering. Anyway, GParted promptly got rid of Miss Cortana, and all the people she wanted to "share" me with.īluetooth (HID and audio), touch screen, pen, keyboard, HDMI monitor, USB audio & network adapters, Wireless 802.11ac, USB network tethering to my cell phone, Thunderbolt 3 dock (USB sticks, audio in/out, and Gig Ethernet - tho HDMI requires displayport which I'm not dinking with). It was very sluggish, but I think that's because I'm used to I'm used to snappy Linux laptops. Cortana started yakking at me, telling me she's always listening, and asking for personal information because she wanted to send my details to HP, Microsoft and McAfee to set up accounts for me. I knew Win 10 would be unusably slow for me, but I booted it up for curiosity. It came with Windows 10, but I bought it with the intention of wiping it and installing MX. It has an Atom x5-Z8350 with 4 cores at a max speed of 1.92 Ghz. Screenshot.jpgI just installed MX 17.1 on a brand new 10.1 inch HP X2 210 G2 windows tablet over the weekend.
