Hi Valerio,

hmmm, anything build on Ubuntu >= 18.04 should boot without any issues. From your screenshot it looks like one key of your keyboard got stuck ([[[B^) and has permanent contact. This might interfere with the booting sequence. Check your keys with a keyboard tester (https://www.keyboardtester.com/) and see if one is returning signals without interaction.

Hi Mario,

hmm, seems like Deepin is not using a 64-bit bootloader, that’s why you see the black screen. You can boot from a second USB having rEFInd and then start Deepin from there. I agree, Deepin is some really nice eye-candy and doesn’t require much customization after launching, however it’s quite heavy on resources.

I would suggest to run a lighter DE on the ezbook 3 pro like XFCE or better a WM like i3-gaps. If you still want to run the Deepin Desktop, I recommend to use Arch Linux. Then you can decide which Deepin apps you want so you don’t have to install everything. Th Deepin packages in the Arch repos are also maintained by one of the core developer of Deepin.

Let me know if you get stuck, happy to point to right direction.

A lot of the apps in ubuntu are now snap packages. They are known to start slowly.

I don’t think it’s a driver problem as it should work out-of-the-box in W10. Have you tried it on a Linux Live System?

By “tried disabling input from the Windows key” you mean you have physically removed the key from keyboard? This is what I had to, as my ‘Esc’ key had permanent contact.
