Re: Can Linux be installed on a noteebook?

My update. I sent msg in advance asking, if I can get XM Xfce installed. I got both machines today with MX pre-installed, yay! These are old machines, I expected battery life to be near end. Well surprise, they are both in very good shape. For how old computers are, I though they would be slower. Well, MX sure helps here. Bottom line I'm glad I ordered two for this price.
Few years ago, I bought Samsung Chrome at Black Friday for 99$, converted it to MX. I tried many distros, and only 2-3 are working on it, most distros antiX included, don't properly work, can't get keyboard to work. MX works the best, but I could never get microphone to work, so I can't use it for keeping in touch with family by using Jitsi.met videoconferencing. And If watching YT video with any browser, browser will occasionally crash. Well more often than not. I understand, it is hardware designed for Chrome OS and some drivers in Linux kernel are just not the best fit.
Well I'm so happy, these two cheap former Chrome machines works so good! Thank you again @rokytnji.1 for mentioning this great deal!
Seller is super nice, super friendly and ships very fast.
