I bought one and was really disappointed. Forum is poor, Synaptic Package manager does not work. Pop-Os was suggested but that too hiccuped. May just use it as an internal server if I can get anything to run on it. No one seems to have Windows running too well on it. Raspberry Pi is a much

Quick update.. After seeing JT's thread on the forum I installed Lubuntu Bionic-Beaver. Followed the instructions for building the kernel (used make deb-pkg), more or less used the Mint 19 recipe to build Linuxcnc (did this on my T530 Thinkpad). Installed said kernel & packages on the Atomic

Just a quick update. Installed debian stretch (r13?), all went smooth, installed a backported kernel (4.19) and ATM am testing various boot options to get latency to a better value (may even recompile kernel after more research). So far it looks like it may work with a MESA ethernet card.
