    That was my first real experience with Linux!

    My little brother bought one open box from Best Buy. Somehow it didn’t have keyboard or trackpad drivers? Not even external usb would work.

    Ended up putting Ubuntu on it for him I believe. Fun learning experience.

      LoL yeah, I had a couple. A 10" and a 7". I ended up putting Ubuntu on there as well with xfce. It was perfect for streaming and doing a few web tasks. The hardware was crap though.

      You could buy one with Windows XP back then but boy was it terrible.
