It | still seems to be available online but not in-store at Yorkdale. The deal is real -- I snagged two. I think it ends on Jan 3 but don't count on it. | Hints for perfecting Kubuntu on this machine: | <https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ia8ta/review_of_ubuntu_on_asus_ux305fa/> There are further problems. The deal is for a ux305ca, slightly different. The main challenge is that Linux is lagging on Intel Skylake support and the ux305ca uses Skylake (a Good Thing, but inconvenient right now). On Fedora 23, the touchpad didn't work and the display showed up at low resolution. The fix is to run the rawhide kernel because it does have some skylake fixes. Oh, and you need to turn off Secure Boot in the UEFI config menu (Asus boot menu). <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1281990> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292615> Notice who filed the second bugzilla. Also notice how the diagnostic does not point well at the problem. There are still some slightly rough spots but I haven't worked at them. - I don't know how to access the Home, Page Up, Page Down, and End codes (second meaning for arrow keys but holding Fn doesn't work). - the airplane mode light (in the keycap) is on but I'm not in airplane mode Probably more when I get more experience with it.
