Has anyone tried to run Linux (any distro) on a virtual machine in windows on the ezbook 2?

I saw this and remembered your MMC -110 error. Note this is a custom/patched Linux distro made specifically for Intel cherry-trail “compute sticks” but may work better on cherry-trail tablets than the stock Ubuntu distro’s. It also may enlighten what’s causing the SD card failures in the stock distro’s… Micro SD card support on Intel Compute Cherry Trail Sticks

“The latest stable 4.7.2 Ubuntu kernel for Intel Compute Cherry Trail Sticks (STK1AW32SC/STK1A32SC) now supports micro SD cards albeit with limitations. It seems most Class 10 and below cards from any manufacturer (update: except Sandisk – see comment below) work without problem. However not all UHS cards work. I’ve found Samsung UHS Speed Class 3 and UHS Speed Class 1 work. Whereas similar Sandisk cards fail, crashing the device sometimes on inserting or removing or erroring with: mmc1: error -110 whilst initialising SD card mmc1: card never left busy state Still getting any micro SD cards working on these devices is a great forward step. I’ve patched the 4.7.2 Ubuntu kernel to make it work on Intel Compute Sticks and you can download the upgrade script from http://goo.gl/5gEyrf and install this latest kernel after making it executable (enter ‘chmod 755’) and then running it as ‘root’. Once the script has finished executing GRUB should update automatically but if it doesn’t then simply run ‘update-grub’ as ‘root’. Your device will then need to be rebooted to use the new (patched) kernel.”

Also read the user’s comments under the post on that Linuxium blogspot page.

Thank you!
I will watch.
I have also seen this http://www.gearbest.com/laptops/pp_353954.html , i know it’s a bit off topic but have you ever heard of this? Seems very good, and linux should go without issues (it’s an i3), the only thing i am scared from buying on chinese shops, what if i need assistence? (i live in italy)

Hi all!
I am searching for a budget 14 ” laptop and i have seen this Ezbook2 that is now on like 150 € ca. on gearbest.
The problem is that for the use that i am supposed to do (gnuplot / latex / light programming, i study physics) it would be a lot better using a Linux based OS than windows 10. Anyone found the solution for the problems i read here? (wifi, touchpad, bluetooth, ecc.)
(Otherwise can you suggest one budget 14″ for the use i’m going to do? :’) )
