Splashtop, as I understand it, is simply a minimal Linux-based OS that lets you boot into a browser to do basic web tasks without needing to start up a whole OS.

You couldn't practically use it as a replacement for a full desktop operating system, and would be much better off just installing a Linux distribution. On the plus side, if the motherboard and integrated hardware works with Splashtop, then it stands to reason it would work in any other Linux distribution.

You should make a new topic for this, since it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the existing topic.
