hi friend
Currently only tested Ubuntu Linux, can be used normally, other versions can try to install and use by yourself, welcome to share your attempts in the forum.

The current X64 Ubuntu .ISO image is just under 2GB, so a 4GB or larger USB drive would work.

Where can I report a Bios bug that affects how Ubuntu loads acpi power Adapter module? Since the Bios is for notebook chassis linux kernel is unable to read power status and reports offline line adapter ADP1. This in turn affects how daily cron jobs and anacron are executed. Please update BIOS to read Desktop Chassis

I have just purchased two BeeLink Gemini U55 puters thru Amazon.  I intend to make one dual boot.
Has anyone dual booted the U55?  
Thanks
