I returned it to Amazon, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s taken ages for interesting (and cheap) Broadwell devices to trickle out and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to spend $700 plus for something like this. Meanwhile the Switch 10 was popping up again and again on the discount sites, with the price dropping each time. \u00c2\u00a0Once I saw it again super cheap on the main site I like to check out for deals, <a href=\"http:\/\/liliputing.com\/category\/deals\">Liliputing<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0i couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t resist.<\/p>\n<p>Well the 2GiB Ram\/ 64GiB eMMC version dropped to around $180 and so I bought another one. And I still had the 64GiB micro card I used on the original.<\/p>\n<p>This time I was determined to get Linux on it. I first upgraded the Windows 8.1 to the Developer Preview of 10, just to make sure I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t missing anything and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I was. It was ok but nothing amazing. I moved on to my primary goal of getting a useable Linux installation on here. Linux however, has turned out to be difficult and mostly unusable till just today. My first choice was Ubuntu- but\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ubuntuforums.org\/showthread.php?t=2234219&amp;page=7\">Ubuntu is fraught with issues<\/a>, mostly around booting post-install, because these Bay Trail systems all use a 32bit UEFI even though the Atom CPU is 64 bit. Ubuntu and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s grub installation is still not ready to deal with that. And Fedora wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t much better, save for some amazing work going on with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happyassassin.net\/fedlet-a-fedora-remix-for-bay-trail-tablets\/\">Fedlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Fedlet<\/h2>\n<p>Fedlet over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happyassassin.net\/\">Happyassassin.net<\/a> bills itself as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fedora Remix for Bay Trail tablets\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the effort was for other BT systems (the author seems to have a Dell) but of course the same issues with supporting BT now play into it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s favor, and the chipsets (SOCs) are the same on all these 2-in-1 tablets.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I had tried Fedlet back when I got this 2nd Switch 10, back in May. Back then the installer worked, and after an epic batter with the UEFI partition to get it to stop trying to boot windows and boot my new grub boot loader I got feedlot working, but there were serious stability issues.<\/p>\n<p>I shelved the Switch 10 and was just yesterday browsing around for other tablets when I happened upon the Fedlet page again and realized AdamW had just released a new build, with the 4.x Kernel. And I mean just- he released it on the 10th of August. I downloaded the Eleventh release of Fedlet and soon had it live booting on the Switch 10.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>USB Booting<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Always plug the USB Key into the micro-USB port on the tablet itself (never the keyboard)<\/li>\n<li>Hold F12 as you power on the Switch 10 and see the Acer boot screen, then you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to boot from USB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Installation Review<\/h1>\n<p>If you are going to install fedlet you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need a few things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>USB keyboard and Mouse &#8211; the image won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recognize the Switch\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s keyboard, and the trackpad is too hard to use with an external keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>USB Key with dongle to connect to Micro-USB port &#8211; use the port on the tablet itself<\/li>\n<li>Fedlet iso image transferred over to USB key<\/li>\n<li>USB Ethernet &#8211; the wifi works, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s faster and quicker just to use wired ethernet. You can plug this into the keyboard USB port and it will work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once I had the live image running on the Switch, I realized that as Adam mentioned on his site, you have to completely remove existing partitions on your eMMC internal 64GiB drive, or the installer crashes. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remove p1 &#8211; the first partition &#8211; as that is your <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface\">UEFI<\/a> partition!<\/p>\n<p>Once I removed them (using fdisk from the terminal on the live image) and rebooted I could continue in the installer and manually partition the drive &#8211; don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t automatically do it &#8211; again, you need to ensure you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wipe p1 the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface\">UEFI<\/a> partition. Assign it a mount point of \/boot\/ueif. I created a \/boot, swap and \/ partition and continued with the installation.<\/p>\n<p>The other snafu with this build is that the installer screen is actually cut off, and the Done button is off screen! You can use the Tab key here to select the unseen OK button and complete the required screens. Luckily the Fedora installs are much simpler than the Ubuntu installations- you only need to complete about 3 screens as it is installing on your drive.<\/p>\n<p>If you Tab around you can see each element of the screen hi-lit, and when it moves off the last element visible it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on the OK button- hit Return Key and give it a moment.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: You can also hold down the Option Key and press &#8220;D&#8221; &#8211; this works better than tabbing around.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Screen Shot 2015-08-12 at 11.39.22 PM.png\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dillernet.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-12-at-11.39.22-PM1.png?resize=575%2C346&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015 08 12 at 11 39 22 PM\" width=\"575\" height=\"346\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 14px;\">This is what you see on the Switch 10 Screen<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Screen Shot 2015-08-12 at 11.39.10 PM.png\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dillernet.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-12-at-11.39.10-PM.png?resize=575%2C418&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015 08 12 at 11 39 10 PM\" width=\"575\" height=\"418\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><em>This is the actual screen &#8211; you need to Tab around and depress the Done button up top!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are in the root password screen you must create a complex password or it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give you the OK button to hit\u00e2\u20ac\u201d it will keep jumping back to the password entry boxes.
