Word of warning on those GMKtec PCs. They put all their drivers on a Google Drive account that they don't pay for, and there are no known mirrors of some of the drivers. So when you suddenly need to do a reinstall one day, remember that their GDrive will be over-quota for a month and you'll be SOL for a few weeks unless you can match the drivers to the ones from the OEMs.
- transpute 1y agoCould a cumulative set of drivers be mirrored to a Github repo or archive.org?
- andrewmcwatters 1y agoThis is the most wtf thing I have read on Hacker News in a day or so. Thanks, I was considering them as an N100 alternative to my Raspberry Pi 4. Maybe I'll search a little more...
- fud101 1y agoWhat drivers does one need for the N100? Mine just runs Ubuntu 24 and I've never needed any vendor drivers.

- joshuaissac 1y agoCopy it directly to your own Google Drive, then download it from there, and it will use your quota instead of theirs.
- qingcharles 1y agoIt does not :( I have a paid Goog sub and this was the first thing I tried. It will not bypass their quota.
- joshuaissac 1y agoTry copying it to an otherwise empty folder in your Drive, then download the whole folder instead of the individual file.
