Hi All,
I've searched for information about installing and running Linux on this laptop and had somewhat limited success.

I found one thread saying that Mint 17.3 installs and behaves nicely. Does anyone here have any experience with this or a comparable / related ASUS system running openSUSE?
TIA & regards,
Carl
Not the same model, but a few months ago I bought an ASUS Zenbook UX305 for my wife. She wanted it to be dual boot, so I shrank the Win10 partition (from within Windows) and installed openSUSE Leap 42.1 alongside. No problems, nice little machine, works well. And the Win10 installation hasn't been touched since! ;-) Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.1.15-8-default Distro: openSUSE 42.1 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.14.16
