[xubuntu-users] New laptop, Xubuntu and UEFI

[Tyler Longren]

All seems good. Writing this email from Xubuntu on my x55c. Just be sure to
set your boot device to /dev/sda (the mbr) when setting up partitions. As
well as ensuring you've got an EFI Boot Partition of at least 35MB created.

I have never been so in love with this laptop. Everything just works, even
wifi.
