DaveWK 0 Posted January 24 After being pretty disappointed with the ancient kernels that Asus/TB has been releasing, I finally found a well-maintained distro to put on the TB2. Yay! https://dietpi.com/#downloadinfo You can dd this directly to an SD card or to the onboard MMC, and it works including the USB ports, HDMI and Ethernet. I was able to get the wifi to scan and connect but did not have antennas which may be causing my weak signal. I also ordered a newer m.2 AX210NGW Wifi 6/Bluetooth 5.3 card to replace the RTL8822CE card so we'll see if that improves. I also have been experimenting, and have been able to steal the u-boot and kernel from this image and set up Arch Linux as well. After successfully flashing the dietpi image and patching to the latest kernel, I deleted everything from the dietpi filesystem, extracted the Arch Arm rootfs, but kept the boot directory. I was then able to successfully boot into arch linux. The "edge" kernel is at around v6.6.xx and surprisingly works very well. One thing I was not sure how to do was fetch and rebuild new kernels for Arch which include the TB2 DTB and put it in the right place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
human890209 0 Posted June 1 Does your new m.2 AX210NGW Wifi 6/Bluetooth 5.3 card work? Do you install a driver for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveWK 0 Posted September 13 The AX210NGW worked without additional setup; the driver is in the mainline linux kernel already. One thing of note about the AX210NGW is Intel seems to have intentionally made it incapable of being used as a wifi access point, only can be used as a WiFi client. As such, I bought a RTL8852AE which worked without additional setup as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
