Tested distros so far that are known to work with this method is, if a boot/grub/i386-pc folder exists have been Zorin os 16.1 lite and Xubuntu 22.04 lts. Others may or may not work well depending on if a boot/grub/i386-pc exists. Screen shots are also included for people that are visual or need to see a step-by-step, they are followed exactly along with the steps like step one image goes with step one in these instructions and etc.

I'm making sure device is not connected to anything when trying to pair from different machines.

On Geekbench, its single core performance is about half that of the Intel Celeron J4125 while its multi core one is about a quarter.

The use cases are near endless; thin clients in classrooms, part of a POS solution, a driver for digital signage, a control computer of a CNC milling machine or even a Linux-based PC for front desk staff. Given the price point, there’s hardly anything that can be improved; swapping the Celeron N3060 for the Celeron J4125 would have been desirable but would have probably added a significant premium to the price.Apr 19 19:49:27 jon-bmax kernel: sof-audio-pci-intel-apl 0000:00:0e.0: Firmware: ABI 3:20:0 Kernel ABI 3:23:0 Step five use a iso creator to turn the modded 64bit distro you want, to turn into an installable install that you modded the contents from the folder you used. Step seven program on windows, you can use Free iso creator or another program you decide to use. You need to select that folder for whatever program you use and create a iso.
