What can't run linux

@Kimmax new lenovo laptops

@RazorSh4rk bruhhh, this explains my past 2 months right here 😂😂😂

@RazorSh4rk welllllllllll

@Kimmax my 120$ windows 10 32bit tablet ;;

@Kimmax, @RazorSh4rk and Lenovo tablets also. Live CD is fine but won`t install.

@ScribeOfGoD dont tell me you bought that piece of shit

@honeyBadgerJeff The real question is... Can it run crysis??

@RazorSh4rk Hm...I just bought my Thinkpad exactly because of Linux and I have no idea what you're talking about. Works like a charm.

@RazorSh4rk I have a Lenovo Ideapad so I dunno lol

@Kimmax some msi laptops

@ChibangLW try using a persistent live cd. If you use a light distro it could be usable especially with a nice USB drive thats small and good.

@YousifMansour I know but I would like to be able to install it on the SSD.

@ChibangLW so what's the problem exactly? Why wouldn't it install?

@YousifMansour The SSD is a NVMe drive and in some form of a RAID array. And this is not detected by the OS'. Windows also won't detect it out of the box.

@ChibangLW nvme should be swappable with some standard nvme. My intel ssd runs fine with Linux out of the box

@Kimmax And will it blend?

@Kimmax I am not sure wether you can change the SSD on the miix 720 easily but I will look into it.

I was going to ask: can it run doom but then I reminded myself that everything can run doom.

Technologically impared: Can it run?!

@RazorSh4rk they can. You Just need images that have the uefi support. Some of them have 32 bit uefi for 64 bit cpu which is retarded. If you are using a small notebook linuxium is your answer (also fn+f12 for uefi boot) http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.pt/20...

"It's actually GNU/Linux."

*Found dead in an alleyway the next day!*

@ScribeOfGoD I almost bought an Ideapad! Bullet dodged!

Me: Can it run Unreal Engine 4, Visual Studio and 10 Chrome tabs at the same time?

@DarthDev Me : can it run fedora lxde, Monodevelop and links at the same time xD

The real question is, can it run Android studio?

@pedro-abreu just got past the boot part without the 32-bit file, but now I need firmware for the wifi card so that installation follows through. There is never a smooth linux install

@Kimmax Arduinos

@DarthDev You use only 10 Chrome tabs??? Omg how do you do that??????!

@Mitiko By closing the tabs he doesn't need anymore, I assume.

@honeyBadgerJeff did you use the link I put here ?

@pedro-abreu No, it booted and installed ubuntu mate 17.04 64-bit on my asus e200ha. Runs almost all good, except missing drivers for sound and internal wifi card which I think I found a solution for already. I'm still checking out the link tho

Can it run OS X?

The real challenge:
Can it run Android studio gradle builds smoothly?

@deadlyRants and at the same moment you close the tab, you realize that you needed it.

@DonMcCoy That's what the tab restore, history feature and bookmarks are for.

I prefer a clear overview over saving a few seconds now and then.

@omomthings no. it can't run a gradle build smoothly.

Those new Dell XPS laptops (well I guess not new new) run it pretty well. I bought one and for the most part it works. Track pad is funky though.

All these comments are the reason I live with the weight of my Alienware 17 R3

😁😁😁

(casually asks all of those questions)

Sent that question to my job 2 months before I started (asked what laptop they bought me -> Lenovo P50 > check debian wiki for driver support > decent support > woop.

Been there done that yo

Simply everything can run Linux.

@pascal-dev well to clear up, I didn't want to ruin the punchline of the joke. But long story here goes: sure you can always get a linux OS operating if you don't need the wifi card to be working or if you don't need the sound to be working after a fresh install -> if that's what you call running linux. I am soon to regress to the previous kernel because of it

@honeyBadgerJeff and sometimes, due to some EFI shit you just can't install :(

Inner me: can it become a hackintosh

Can it run uni+multibeast -> macOS

@Kimmax it may be more of a driver thing
