what to do about my potato ?
by ZapAnarchy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KZFS)
I have acer es1-533, and it have UEFI problems, that it can't install newer versions of Ubuntu, something to do with EFI stuff. Neither any of RHEL works.
I can only set up Arch based distros to work, because they don't do something with EFI partition these newer do.
And also, Ubuntu/RHEL based , can't even load screen anymore even in live USB ! It just finished checksum,and when trying to boot live USB, it takes forever, I've left it 30m-1 hour, nothing, just still loading..
I don't know what to do with this PC. It's from 2017. And even AntiX, is laggy on it, it's not fast at all.
And, btw, Arch (or any install), consumes me a lot of time, so it's not easy to distro hop on this one, it's frustrating. At least 1-2 hours I need just to install, and fix that UEFI nonsense, as it won't install GRUB directly from installer, but I have to manually meddle with it.
rn, it's on windows, but I don't need this PC anymore, but it can't even handle linux either, I don't want to reinstall just because it can't handle latest update..
Ubuntu works up to 18.04 , everything newer, not
