Well, after 4h of command line kongfu, I was able to make it to work, here is the summary of what I did: Debian installer, for some reason, isn't able to install a desktop environment for you, just skip that step, finish installing, and reboot. Log in as root, then add these to /etc/network/interfaces : auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid (put ssid here) wpa-psk (put password here) Then run ifup wlan0 to connect to Wi-Fi. Run apt update, then apt install gnome Press Super(or the Windows key)+F2, log in, mount installation USB to /media/cdrom0, enter the folder so it can't be unmounted. Go back with Super+F1 and wait for it to install. After that finishes, reboot, log-in, open a terminal, su, add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free Also remove the cdrom line, we don't need that anymore. apt update, apt install firmware-linux-nonfree, and reboot. Most of the things should be working now, just some minor battery and Wi-Fi status weirdness along with some animation glitch (bad graphics chip driver?) I used the same USB drive, so I think Ubuntu is just not compatible with my hardware. Quite disappointed in the level of difficulty of installing a Linux distribution, I'd expect it to be more straight forward. Also, unlike many people said, X is noticeably slower than NT's kernel GUI. It does use significantly less RAM, but unless RAM is is the bottleneck, Windows 10 will not be slower than a Linux distro that has a desktop for daily tasks.
