This has nothing to do with Linux but fixing it before installing Linux is a good idea. Updating the BIOS firmware fixes this issue. The HP spectre x360 has a well known problem where the fan will keep running even when no applications are running and it can overheat very easily. If you wish to install Linux then you have to go through a couple of stages: I went for the second option because I have no need for Windows on my machine. You can either create a Linux/Windows dual boot or you can completely erase Windows and replace it with Linux. It is up to you how you would install Linux on the machine. It is also a very Linux friendly machine so most things will work after installing it. I chose the HP Spectre x360 because it is a laptop/tablet convertible that comes with a pen so you can use it to draw like you would on a Wacom Cintiq.

I highly recommend installing version 18.2 or higher because it will recognise all the hardware components on your machine straight away. I chose Linux Mint because it is very easy to install and provides a very complete out of the box experience after installing it. HP Active Pen included (N-Trig technology like the Microsoft Surface Pen) Linux Mint 18.2 XFCE 64-bit (installed later on the machine) Windows 10 64-bit (originally installed on the machine) However, the Linux community is very resourceful and if there is a will, there is a wayīelow are the software and hardware details that I have used for this guide: My only complaint about it is that I cannot install it natively on my favourite operating system Linux ! I will start by saying that I love Clip Studio Paint and I think it is THE most advanced drawing software out there so I am grateful for all the great work done by the CELSYS development team. This is a guide I decided to write and share with anyone who wishes to do the same as I did.
