CloudReady

　Try CloudReady on a dynabook N40.  CloudReady is a Linux-based operating system, but it's easier to say it's a free version of ChromeOS.

I haven't removed Windows 10 yet, so I just  install the CloudReady utility from the Chrome Web Store and create a bootable USB. Reboot and at the first Dynabook logo screen, hit F12 repeatedly(:-). When I changed the boot device to USB and booted, the installation screen appeared without any difficulity.

It can be also a live USB, so I can use it as it is, but as expected, the dynabook N40 does not have USB 3.0 and it is so  slow computer , so it is impossible to use it as it is. This time, I have already made up my mind, so I chose to install it on the hard disk. That means it is farewell to  Windows 10 (:-) (I made a Windows 10 installation USB just in case). In the past, I have so many experience  of Linux installation, so  I thought about the risk of wireless LAN not being recognised and used a USB wired LAN adaptor to connect by wire and execute the installation.

The installation was completed without incident.

At the result, wireless LAN that I was worried about seems to be OK. Compared to when I was running dynabook N40 with Windows 10, it runs so smoothly that I am impressed.

However, after all, everything does not go well, and I was lucky that wireless LAN was OK, but...

1. no sound!

2. Bluetooth is not working.

3. sometimes freezes.

I found out that there was a problem. I'm getting old (:-), so I don't intend to take on every challenge, but I'm going to keep it as a to-do, and prioritise it in consideration of usability and solve them gradually.
