Basically title. I saw a few reddit threads with this piece but wanted to see if anyone out here had any experience with trying to get Linux set up on this machine.

I'd want to use it for gaming on steam, GOG and emulators. and other stuff like that.

I'm planning on installing on a secondary m.2 drive, and can keep windows for emergencies

Thanks for looking!

Edit:

I've gotten Linux (mxlinix) working on a single ancient HP core 2 duo laptop that seemed to work pretty well considering the machine it was on

Baseline experience with CLI and if copy paste works on the system I can plow through most things.

to be fair you can run on fresh kernel on linux mint through easy gui steps on the update manager!
