Problem:  
I have installed Debian 12.8. Screen was displayed very well.  
After reboot it was only viewed a half screen.  
Solution described in [InstallingDebianOn/Chuwi/MiniBook - Debian Wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Chuwi/MiniBook) is not working.

Please give me a hint, whats going wrong (Firmware).

Regards,  
Thomas

Those guidelines are not for a Minibook X N100. Until I installed a distribution with Kernel 6.11 I have had the same problems.

You might try to install a newer kernel or a Linux distribution with a newer kernel.

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 24.10, and Fedora Core 41 on the Minibook X N100.

You’re welcome. Did you see this?

> Ubuntu spins are my preferred Linux distributions, simply because they are best supported. I run Ubuntu Cinnamon on my i5 8th gen desktop computer, and Xubuntu on my 2014 Macbook Air. Recently I have installed Kubuntu 24.10 on the MiniBook X N100. Installation works out of the box. All hardware, including WiFi, Bluetooth, USB charging, external USB display, is supported. Auto-rotation works, but I don’t use it. Tablet mode (disabling keyboard in tablet mode) doesn’t work. Well, I tried using it…
