Hi Peter,</div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_MSFontService, -apple-system, Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Can you please confirm if the Vivobook is a x86 or ARM device? Because I heard getting Linux working on ARM Laptops is trickier.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [Swlug] Install Linux on ASUS Vivobook</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">I have a reasonably new ASUS Vivobook with Windows 11 installed. I would
<br>
really like to get rid of Windows 11 and install a Linux distribution <br>
instead.<br>
<br>
I've downloaded Ubuntu onto a memory stick, but can't get any further <br>
because I can't find any way to alter the boot order. The BIOS screen <br>
appears when I repeatedly hit Esc on startup, but as far as I can see <br>
there is no option to allow the machine to look for a USB stick before <br>
it boots from the hard drive. Searching the internet came up with any <br>
number of suggestions, but none of them works for me as the options they <br>
mention don't appear on my BIOS screen.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where I can find the option to boot from USB, or any <br>
other way of getting Linux installed on this machine?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
