On my wife's C710 I have installed Crouton Ubuntu Xenial which has about 4 years support. I just leave the chroot running all the time and will update and restart as needed. It runs fine using Xfce4 desktop.

Note I did add 2 more GB and chose one with a 320GB HDD. I am well satisfied so far though I have had to work around the Google refusal to copy youtube files which is a practical thing, and the more or less esoteric printer scheme which is not a real bother but does rankle some. |

My third 710 was a linux dual boot, but we restored it to default, and other that hooking it to the TV to show chordd and lyrics once a month at my jam sessions, it's basically just a spare. The only problem i have with the seabios flashed linux box, is every time i've upgraded the os, the jumpy trackpad issue comes back, and i havent figured out how to fix it this last time yet. |
