I would love to on my cheap-ass Nextbook Flexx 10. But the last time I heard anybody tried Linux on it, there was almost no driver support for it. I love how small it is, I don’t care if all i can do on it is browse the web slowly and maybe run LibreOffice.
Well, I couldn’t wait. I tried a lot of distros. Some lightweight, some not. Including Fedora LXDE, which ran great but was not very pretty. I ended up settling on Lubuntu LTS. It was a very nice balance between performance and looks. Only uses about 500 MB of my precious 2 GB of ram. Even with Firefox open, it only hits 1 GB. LXQt seems pretty nice so far! This is so much faster than Win10 on here. Man, this thing is so weak. Ok, I’m tired. Here’s some pics. I am posting from the Flexx now.
Added 35% transparency to the terminal to match the sombre-et-rond theme for LXQt
Also, don’t need Minecraft. Luanti works just fine!
I really wanted to but couldn’t get it to work; it seems awesome! For some reason I couldn’t get my old MacBook to recognize it as bootable. I should try again sometime.

Well, I’m glad I looked at this again! It seems there has been progress! I know what I’m doing this weekend.
