Spent the last 10 hours trying to get any operating system to work on a with .

First tried to get to boot via , but it black screened.

Next tried to use the same USB stick with only to realize that it was too small.

Got myself a second stick, but Windows wasn't reading it via "This PC", thus had to format it via Disk Management before using YUMI to install Ubuntu onto it.

And it didn't help that Windows was very sluggish with the existing hardware. Making the whole experience a mental challenge onto one's patience!

@barefootstache Dell usually has good linux support so this is a bit surprising. Did you manage to get linux on it after all?

@hax the current state is that Ubuntu has supposedly been successfully installed, though it won't boot into it
