Some cautionary advice: The initial menu screen takes slightly longer to appear than with the official ISOs. For installation to the device's internal storage simply run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. The USB can then be used to boot from after powering-on the device. I've also configured the ISOs to both run and install using either a 32-bit or 64-bit bootloader to provide the ability to easily dual-boot without needing to modify the BIOS.Įach ISO can be written to a USB using either 'Rufus' in Windows or 'dd' in Linux. Consequently I've also developed a manual patching process where a script can be downloaded and then executed to update the kernel to match the latest releases. I've also included the latest patches that try to reduce the random freezes that have been known to occur.īecause the ISOs include a patched kernel to provide the missing functionality it means no automatic Ubuntu kernel updates although other application packages will update as normal. They will work on other Atom Bay Trail and Cherry Trail with varying success in part due to the functionality provided by the device's BIOS which typically affects the success of bluetooth and assuming the device has either Realtek 8723BS or other officially support wifi including Intel. Ubuntu is well suited to mini PCs as the flavours provide the option of running a fast but lightweight operating system that can take advantage of the lesser hardware specifications.īy combining recent patches and source code and porting them with Ubuntu kernel source I've created ISO images that fully support HDMI audio, wifi and bluetooth on Intel Compute Sticks.

Ubuntu MATE uses the MATE desktop environment.

Ubuntu GNOME uses the GNOME desktop environment.

Kubuntu uses KDE's Plasma desktop environment.

Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment.

Lubuntu uses LXDE (the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment).

Ubuntu uses Unity (a graphical shell for the GNOME desktop environment).

Ubuntu has recognized flavours with the difference being the set of packages included within the release: An ISO image can be written to a USB to create a 'live' USB drive that containing a full operating system that can be booted or used as installation media. Official Ubuntu releases are provided as ISO images which are single files that represent an entire CD/DVD of software.
