Gigabyte BRIX GB-BACE-3160 With Linux any good

[Penelope Stopit]

Have a chance of buying a new one of these for approx 100 pounds delivered

Does anyone here own one and by any chance run Linux on it

Even if running Windows on one, how's it performing ?

Whats the specs on the one your buying?

Would imagine something like Elementary OS would be fine on it.

Not on this one, but the earlier bxbt1900. The bios is a bit flaky and Linux won't power down or reboot unless some bios obscure setting is toggled. That done, it works fine with Ubuntu LTS.

Thank you

Will delve deeper, perhaps contact Gigabyte and ask about BIOS and Linux

We used these a while ago but ended up with all sorts of issues, partcularly with Linux. Ended up update bios to solve some issues.

Gave up with BRIX and moved to Intel NUC which are far better.
