I’m looking for a portable, very compact linux laptop.
Screen size: 12 inch or smaller Weight: less than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) Full hd screen
I did some googling and i only found a CHUWI laptop that suffers from an overheating issue.
Your best bet is an Intel Macbook Air with 11.6" screen from a few years ago. They’re even lighter and smaller than the current macbook airs. I have one myself running Linux Mint 22. Just make sure it has 8 GB of RAM (it works with 4 GB too, but you can’t have too many tabs open). They sell for $200 refurbished.
Hey, that sounds very interesting. It’s there anything not working as it should work that hw/sw combo?
It usually all works except the wifi in some models. The driver exists, and it’s an available download in the official repos (just not in live cds, due to licensing), as long as you have a usb-to-ethernet adapter to install it. However, with Mint 22 I noticed that the wifi driver was finally included in the kernel and livecd by default.
