ASUS EeeBook X205TA
debian-12.10.0-i386-netinst
Rufus 4.7
After various attempts to install Linux at this hardware, mainly with this instruction: https://github.com/filirnd/x205ta, where I failed over and over again, I decided (after several months) to give this another try.
But this time with an 32 Bit Debian.
You will need
- Rufus to create a bootable USB stick.
- Network during the installation process
Here my steps
- Disable Secure Boot in the Bios of the Asus
- Download debian-12.10.0-i386-netinst from https://www.debian.org/distrib/
- Use Rufus to create an USB stick (only important property was: Partition scheme to GPT)
- Install (it complains about 3 missing firmware files, I ignored)
- Fix audio with Terminal: sudo apt install firmware-intel-sound (found here: https://github.com/heikomat/linux/tree/cx2072x/cx2072x_fixes_and_manual)
For me this worked, hope it does also on your ASUS
