The showstoppers are the other problems. The SoC is known to freeze regularly: <a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051">https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051</a> There is no stable driver for the built-in Wifi, the graphics stack can crash when KMS kicks in, the sound card driver is incomplete and very tricky and I don't know if Bluetooth works. I guess these reasons are already enough to stay away from Intel Bay Trail. Afaik, Cherry Trail is a bit better. But I hope that AMD will release something less painful soon.

I sure want to do that, but ... I'm a bit reluctant to try this since there doesn't seem to be any official release availabe for this type of hardware (Atom Z3735F) Is <a href="http://Linuxium.com.au">Linuxium.com.au</a> the only *buntu that supports this hardware, or is there also an official ubuntu available? I have send the duck out for answers but the duck mainly brings me to Linuxium and Ubuntu forum posts that either show the DIY method or also point to Linuxium. Lubuntu seems to me the most obvious distro to run on that hardware since it is in the "lower performance" segment. Still very capable hardware but also very portable hardware. The most cost effective portable hardware on the market today is based on Atom Z3735 chips. So that in itself seems to make a lot of sense to have a distro available to replace Windows. Just for people who don't want to use windows. The main hurdle seems to be the 32bit UEFI. Most old BIOS based hardware can't boot El torito images with UEFI. That would then need a complete new .iso release for that platform alone. Is this mainly a matter of having the resources to build such image or is the 32bit UEFI still not good enough to provide official support? At this point I want to tell that person to just buy a $99 Core2Duo based laptop that weighs 3 times as much unless i can find a official distro. I don't mind to DIY on hardware that i own, but my recent Macbook experience learned me that it is a headache to DIY on hardware that is owned by someone else. This why i like to know if some official distro exists for Z3725 based boxes. </pre></blockquote></div> -- Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Mobiltelefon mit K-9 Mail gesendet.</body></html>
