Is it possible to install on Gemini N41 linux ( Ubuntu or Debian ) ?

I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 on the N41, and everything works well.

Hi, I also try to install ubuntu on Beelink Gemini N41. But I failed.

I download the Ubuntu 18.04.1 ISO file from ubuntu official website, and use official guide to create a bootable usb disk (https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tut ... -stick-on-windows#0). Then I press F7 when device on. However, it shows some errors on the screen, and it cannot continue.

The errors are:
device not accepting address
and
unable to find a medium containing a live file system.

May I ask what is your step? do you change BIOS settings?
Thank you very much!

Hello TechGuy,

I've also installed ubuntu 18.04 and it works fine and fast. When playing some .mkv videos the CPU usage reaches 100% (all 4 cores) and the video stutters. Then I installed Linux mint 19.1 Cinnamon. Linux Mint also works fine and fast. It boots to desktop in 26 Seconds. I tried the the same video files which were not playing well in ubuntu, and they were playing flawlessly in LM. The CPU usage hardly reaches 60%.

Do you have the same experience in your ubuntu system?

Thanks.
