[Discuss] laptop for sale

Say when and where and I’ll assist you installing whatever distro you want. Heck I’ll install it for you if want to drop it off. UEFI isn’t an issue.

This machine with Linux pre-installed was offered in Europe but unavailable in Canada, so I bought it with Windows installed, wiped Windows and tried to install Linux. Was able to run this laptop with Linux from a USB and also managed to install the OS on the internal drive a few times, and I once was even able to get it to boot from the internal drive by installing an UEFI capable (recent) version of Mint. However, a subsequent install failed again, and I don't have the time or patience to try it again, especially since I cheaply got an old computer 2 years ago that works fine with Linux.
