Vintage laptop Asus x205ta supported?

While it is still high summer in the part of the world where I live, my summer was ruined anyhow (referring to my previous post). 'T was time to part from my old friend, the Asus x205ta laptop.

After reviving this 32-bit UEFI beast with 32-bit SparkyLinux (read above why), finally the day arrived to say goodbye to this “lap-top in the true sense”. I’ve replaced it with a system based on the Intel N4020 SoC (Asus m415xa). Again a budget machine, but full HD this time, with ‘normal’ RAM and SSD. An upgraded companion for my lap while I am sitting in the garden :slight_smile:

Having been getting used to Debian based SparkyLinux recently - more or less involuntary - on my previous laptop, it was my first choice to install. Everything works great out of the box, except for Wifi. Chicken-or-egg… after ‘borrowing’ a mainstream Wifi USB-stick I was able to use the internet on the new beast, search a bit on the net, and install the missing rtl8821ce kernel module quickly.

No, I am not fully parting from Lubuntu, and yes, this discourse is about Lubuntu and not SparkyLinux. I have not tested the new laptop with Lubuntu 22.04 yet. Maybe the Wifi-on-a-Soc is working without further ado. If not, I will gladly give hints how to add the driver.
