It installed without a hitch, and after using it for a day or so it seems to have relatively few problems. Finally, I found Phoenix OS – a similar desktop Android OS, with a simple installer. I’ve always wanted to try Remix OS, but the duality of 64-bit UEFI version and 32-bit legacy version meant neither would run properly without complicated intermediate steps. Thankfully I still had the recovery on my external drive, and after a few confused minutes managed to reinstall Windows.ĭeciding not to risk messing up the CM installer again, I looked around for alternatives.

It’s a year or so older than the one my dad has, though I’m not sure the exact release year. It’s got a MicroSD slot that I’ve stuck a 32GB card into. It’s the 10″ model, with 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel Atom processor of some kind. While waiting for various files to copy, I started on the other machine I have lying around – my ASUS T100 Transformer Book.

Then, discovering incompatibilities that made my screen flicker, I overwrote it with Ubuntu Gamepack. First it was my old semi-functional laptop, where I installed SteamOS – via ISO, because the suggested installer wouldn’t work with my legacy BIOS.
