No, I do not think so.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are a lot of information out there on the Internet. But from what is said, there are not a single Linux distro that runs smoothly. Heard that Ubuntu 14 and 16 installs as long as you "inject" the 32 bit version of the EFI file in the Ubuntu 64 bit ISO disc and it will boot and install smoothly. There are some other Linux distros that apparently boots and installs - again after injecting the 32 bit EFI file in a 64 bit ISO disc. The reason for this is that Insignia installed the 32 bit EFI version on this equipment, although the processor is a 64 bit one (reducing costs, being the main reason) and the consequence to that is that although this is a 64 bit processor 2-in-1, it is running Windows 10 32 bit version... Now, back to Linux: from what it is said on the Internet, the following are the main issues after you manage to install Linux: Wi-Fi driver needs to be tweaked but it is still shaky; battery monitoring not functional; problematic transition between portrait and landscape screens, touchscreen seems to work with Ubuntu but not all other distros; problems recognizing the extra micro SD; sound system drive not working. And that basically is it. Planning on trying with Ubuntu 17.10 (the latest version it seems). My advise: take a full backup of the equipment including generating the repair disc and repair drive to be on the safe side and then try it out with Linux (they say do not eliminate the EFI and the other hidden partitions because these are required for a full system restore, in case you need to fall back to Windows 10 :) Good luck!
