I'm just in the middle of installing Linux Mint on my 2017 Asus c202 because the updates stopped this summer. The c202 is still a fine machine for my uses. I've take taken the screw out of the mother board now and just reading up on how to install Linux but now ... maybe I'll wait and see if fresh updates restart coming my way.
im extremely biased, since its my daily driver for everything, but i think Linux is the better way to go. maybe a little awkward at first if you're fully embedded in the Google eco, but can still use most google products via browser, anyway.
