What Linux Mint should I install on an Asus x102B?

Post by ovisergiu »

Hello again!

My friend has this little Asus x102B notebook.
I tried to install on it Linux Mint ”linuxmint-18.2-xfce-32bit” but I just can not login... I really do not understand. I did not forgot the username and / or the password. It keep saying Incorrect password/username.
Should I install another version?
This ”linuxmint-18.2-xfce-32bit” I even installed it twice, chooseing DELETE ALL, I did not kept anything on that harddrive.

Did you verify the ISO when you downloaded it?

Also, that CPU is 64-bit capable. Not sure though how well Mint XFCE will run with a 1.0 GHz CPU.

Well the iso was OK, and I tried the x64 version of XDE and the same problem with the login...
Then I managed to install cinamon version without being asked for login details. Unfortunatelly it was working slower than Windows 7... I do not know what to think anymore.
