Ubuntu does run quite well on this device, but it won't be supported by the device manufacturer. Here is a blog post by someone who installed Ubuntu on this device. Apparently everything worked, even the Wifi adapter. I have a feeling a lot of companies will neglect to state whether or not non-standard operating systems are supported By definition, they are not supported.
I recently purchased a GIGABYTE BRIX barebone to use as media station and for some skyping. Drivers to the Windows 7 on the USB stick. For other GIGABYTE mini.

If you choose to put a different OS onto a computer, the company that sold the computer is not going to provide support to you. However, that doesn't mean it won't work.
The Brix is a fairly standard x86/64 PC architecture with a traditional BIOS, Intel HD graphics etc.
Hi Folks, Moving on to my question, I recently bought a Gigabyte GB-BXBT-1900 and am currently in the process with figuring out which build of Linux to put on the computer. I've heard of people putting Linux Mint 18.3 but when setting up a computer for LinuxCNC there's a special kernel that must be installed?(sorry if I don't make sense I'm still learning from the ground up about Linux) Which Kernel would I use for the Gigabyte GB-BXBT-1900 or which version of Linux should I use? I will be using a Mesa 7I76E to control my stepper controllers Please or to join the conversation. It's all personal choice, Linux Mint does look pretty and is a very capable distro, actually I have it installed on my laptop & desktop.
I really like it for everyday use On the laptop I have compiled Linuxcnc to run in simulator mode more for testing gcode prior to running it on the mill, but that's just my choice. If you are still feeling your way around Linux, the official release has everything you need to setup a machine, just do your config and off you go, barring Murphy sticking his head in.
The time spent compiling Linuxcnc on Mint would be better spent learning to use Linuxcnc. There's no reason you couldn't get your machine setup on the official release and then if you want, save all your configs and what not then setup Linuxcnc on Mint then copy your configs over. Please or to join the conversation.
I'm going to put a spanner in the works for you. With your 7i76e, the preemptive kernel is a prerequisite. The official release does not include this but the docs tell you how to do it.
BUT: With more modern hardware, there is a lack of driver support on Wheezy and the reason why many of us moved to Linux Mint was because Mint sorted out all of our hardware problems. However, it meant that we had to compile the preemptive kernel. Once we got that far, it was not much more work to compile linuxcnc from source. That is why I use Linux Mint on on my Gigabyte Brix computer.
