    They both support Linux.  Some (not all) EZbook users have had trouble with the touchpad not working under Linux. This is a problem that various notebooks have not just Jumper.  There are updated drivers in the works for this though depending on which touchpad yours has (they swap parts a lot when building them).  I would go with the Lapbook SE. It’s quite a bit faster with the Celeron N4100 and so far as I have heard no problems with the touchpad.  You can somewhat compensate for the 2GB less ram (4GB vs 6GB in the EZbook) by installing a slimmer/lighter Linux distribution.
    The default LinuxMint Cinnamon 19 that Chris tested, is not the lightest/smallest one.  Better ones for a 4GB machine would be IMO…
    LinuxMint Xfce I think this will install the Grub boot manager and work fine for dual-booting with Windows
    Manjaro Xfce 18
    (*may*, not sure, require extra install/setup of the rEFInd boot manager for getting dual-boot with Windows working)
    It’s also helpful to use a lighter-weight browser like the Falkon browser.

    Thank you so much for the reply. I have already ordered the Lapbook SE indeed after reading this forum and more of Chris’ comments & posts.
