Thank you

I didn’t realize pip and venv didn’t work… that’s a pretty big deal breaker for a lot of people, myself included.

Indeed, but also it’s worth a read if you plan on making it your daily driver. The article touches on things like, even though it’s arch based, it uses an old kernel among some other things.

While you’re right about the spirit of the use case, you’re missing the details.

I had one quite some time ago so my memory is probably not perfect here. it was almost good enough for most things. I feel like there was an issue where it only had 32bit support for some stuff, but this was years ago.

I do remember it had decent support for Ubuntu out of the box.

It had a ton of bios updates when it first came out, so step one is I’d go make sure you’ve got at least a recent version.
