Has anyone here tried these devices with Ubuntu, or maybe a more cut down distro? Could you use one of these as an internet and word processing box, with a normal/decent experience?
- rwmj 10y agoThey will run a full distro just fine, and any Linux distro since they are completely supported by free software. I'm using mine as servers, but they each have 4 GB of RAM and a large SSD [RAM and disk added myself] so I'm sure it could handle a GUI and a word processor without a problem. You're not going to be playing AAA games on one. The CPU on mine (about 2 years old) is: https://ark.intel.com/products/81072/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2807-1M-Cache-up-to-2_16-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/81072/Intel-Celeron-Processor...
