Installing Linux on Bleeding Edge Computers
A common question I find in online forums is how to install a Linux distro on bleeding edge computers. Often the challenge is the need for newer drivers, which means a newer kernel.
Similar to installing Linux on old computers, use the same basic trick to avoid installation limitations.
- Temporarily remove the hard disk.
- Install the disk in a compatible spare computer.
- Install the distro.
- Install or backport a newer kernel and packages.
- Return the disk to the newer computer.
