And with every update the Tablet became more slower and with lesser storage making the Tablet of no value for which I bought it. While the OEM version of Windows 8.1 ran well for almost a year without any issues, but since last few months, as I started doing some serious coding and blogging I found the Windows OS bloaty and also despite the touch screen and the Tablet feature, the reason I bought this 2 in 1 was to use its Laptop feature which was becoming more and more difficult with the continuous updates to the OS and the dwindling size of the 32GB eMMC storage which was more and more taken up by the Windows OS and its patches.

I even was able to install Python 3.7 on it and run some of my Python scripts.

With just being 11 Inch and such a small and light form factor, it was very easy for me to take this tablet while traveling and to meetings as it was not as heavy as a full 15 inch laptop and also with some light weight Code editors like Notepad++ and even VSCode I was able to get some of coding done.

The primary use of such tablets based on my experience is light surfing, light editing and as a travel companion.

Now this problem is not just of this tablet but of many 2-in-1 Windows tablet based on this Intel Atom processor. Now let me get the specs of the tablet out of the way so that you can understand how much low spec this Tablet is and the challenges of running Linux on it.Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen modeĬherry on the topping is it uses UEFI for boot and while the UEFI is 32 bit, the OS architecture that it runs is 64-bit. I have been exploring many forums and was trying to understand how can I run Linux on my humble 2-1 Intel Atom tablet. Now the idea of running Linux on my Acer One 10 Tablet was not new, I have been exploring this option for last few months. And that when I thought about running Linux on my Acer One 10 tablet. This left me with very few options, either use Linux on a VM or use my Raspberry Pi 4. Despite the fact that my PC has a old Windows 7 OS, thanks to my family downloading unknown software, the OS was virus infested and crashed the moment it boots. Now the PCs or Laptops that I have are not so much powerful and neither I want to add the bloat of Windows to it. After many hit and trail I found Zorin OS perfect for my Pentium based PC. For a better part of 3-4 months this PC has been my companion for using Linux and developing my personal Projects. Now I was in middle of downloading a bunch of light weight Linux ISO when this happened.My original plan was to download them burn them to a CD and test them on my PC. Yesterday my assembled PC which ran Zorin OS (A very user friendly Ubuntu based Distro) stopped working. And yes I am writing this blog on my Acer tablet using Linux OS,now please wait till the end to find the Distro I am using. In this blog I will be narrating my experience of how my search for running Linux on my Acer One 10 Windows Tablet ended.
