Installing Ubuntu on an Asus E410M laptop? [duplicate]

Does anyone know if it's possible to install Linux on an Asus E410M laptop?

I've tried with an Ubuntu live USB, but I can't figure out how to get it to boot from USB. There's no bios screen during boot, so I can't even get into a menu to check if USB boot support is enabled.

Solution 1:

I think you should be fine with that laptop.

For ASUS, it’s usually f2 to enter the uefi / bios menu. Hold that down whilst you turn the machine on.

If that doesn’t work, other keys that often do this are f10, f12, Del or Esc. If you have the original documentation, it will probably tell you which key to press.

Sounds like you’re planning on booting from usb (‘try Ubuntu’) before attempting installation which is definitely the right thing to do.
