I’m a (relative) newcomer to Ubuntu.
And thinking of getting a cheap netbook to use as a second computer: and portable one.
I’m thinking this one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laptop-Netbook-Android-Latest-Software-Black/dp/B0168I7XBG/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t
Would be an ideal one.
However, I’d rather not have Android on the blessed thing.
I’d rather install a lightweight version of Ubuntu on it.
Would I have to use one of The Ubuntu installers on the Google Play store? If so, which one? (I’d need something fairly user friendly.)
Or could I use the old trick of rebooting, hitting F8/F12, and then installing from a USB stick
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
(I’ve ASKED on the Amazon page: but still not received much of a helpful answer.)
