I’m not the first person to have this problem. But when I opened the wireless settings and attempted to login to my WiFi network I ran into a speedbump: the keyboard didn’t work so there was no way to enter my password. Ubuntu booted pretty quickly and I was able to use the touchpad or touchscreen to interact with the operating system. In order to get the Acer Aspire Switch 11 to boot from the flash drive, I had to power down the tablet and then hit the power button and press the F2 button before Windows started to load in order to get to the boot options/setup screen.įrom this menu you can disable UEFI and secure boot, enable legacy boot, and tell the computer to boot from a flash drive first and only try to run software from the built-in solid state drive if there’s no flash drive present. I used UNetbootin to load a pre-release build of Ubuntu 15.04 onto a USB flash drive. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with Windows.Īfter finishing up a review of an Aspire Switch 11 with a 1920 x 1080 pixel display and an Intel Core i3-4012Y Haswell processor recently, I decided to see what happens when you try running Ubuntu Linux on the tablet.įor the most part, everything works great… as long as you don’t plan to use the keyboard. The Acer Aspire Switch 11 is a 2-in-1 tablet which ships with Windows 8.1 software.
