Setting up my new notebook with seven types of Linux and Windows 1. The ASUS X4. 41. SA. Image Asus A few months ago I bought an ASUS X5. SA notebook, which I was quite pleased with as a low priced system. The one thing about it that I was never really happy with was the 1. I prefer to carry smallerlighter laptops in my backpack. In addition, the larger display consumes more power, thus shortening battery life. Despite that, though, I have been using that laptop quite a lot, and Ive been very pleased with it. A week or so ago, I saw another very similar ASUS notebook on sale here in Switzerland at about the same price CHF 3. Not only does that smaller display avoid my complaints about the larger X5. S, but because it has the same resolution 1. I think the display looks better on the smaller size. I wish that I could tell you for sure what the model number of the new system is, but Im cant. I can say for sure that what is written on the box, and on the sticker on the bottom of the system, is R4. SA. However, when I went to the ASUS website to verify the configuration, I couldnt find any mention of that model or of any R series model Then things got even more confusing, because while I was slogging through the Windows 1. I happened to look at the System Info screen, and that identifies it as an X4. SA. So I went back to the ASUS web page, and I couldnt find anything about that model, either but at least there is an X series. Then, just to complete the confusion, I noticed that on the web page of the store that is offering this model in Switzerland, it says that it has an Intel N3.

As with all of my laptops and desktops, the primary use of the notebook will be with Linux but I will at least make an attempt to keep Windows on it. Rather than make this a long drawn out description of the installation process, I am just going to hit the high points Windows 1. Home.

Now it seems to be happy about updates, at least for the moment. But every time I boot Windows, the performance monitor shows the disk access constantly running at a minimum of 4. SUSE Tumbleweed KDEAs always with my Linux installations, this was the first to be installed and it will control all of the multi boot operation from now on. Installation took about 2. I had absolutely no problems with it. All of the hardware was recognized and properly configured, including the nasty ASUS clickpad pointing device. Manjaro 1. 7. 0. 1 KDEInstallation took less than 1. Debian GNULinux. Because we are getting close to the release of Debian 9. I decided to use the Stretch RC3 installer. This probably saved me some trouble, because when I installed Debian 8 jessie on the ASUS X5. S it didnt handle either the display or the clickpad properly, but the Stretch installer had absolutely no problems at all. I chose the Cinnamon desktop for this installation I think this is the first time I have used Debian Cinnamon, and it really is nice.

Just think, this might be the last time that I load a system with Unity SUSE Leap 4. Alpha KDEAgain, because Im loading the newest versions, and in hopes of avoiding problems, I went for the 4. Alpha instead of the stable 4. The installer didnt like the clickpad, so I had to use a USB mouse for the installation process, but the installed systems works with everything just fine. The bottom line here is that I installed and configured seven Linux distributions in a lot less time than it took to setup Windows 1. Windows spent on upgrades after the setup was complete. More importantly, every one of those Linux installations boots faster and is more pleasant to use than Windows 1. Read more about Linux. Create a new notebook in One. Note for Windows 1.
