This is an old post, I plan on making a new one with updated details.

I was installing Debian on my Getac F100-G2, and I booted to the live usb perfectly fine. I tested everything and it seemed to work great, except for one time I got logged out randomly. I installed it(overwriting windows) and it completed with no error. When I rebooted, it booted to a black screen and did not provide any error message. I’ve tried booting to the same installation media as well, and it does the exact same. I’ve switched between legacy boot and uefi, which has been an issue in the past with debian. I have also tried booting from a pureos live usb and that hasn’t worked either. Getac devices are for enterprise use more than person, and rather poorly documented, so any help is appreciated!********___

    I’m going to re-install windows to make sure the tablet is functional, and then repeat the process. The weird part is any live linux usb doesn’t work either. It is a strange issue, thanks for your help.

      thanks for your help.

      Sure thing. Feel free to keep us updated. I hate to see anyone have to use Windows longer than they want to.

        The mystery is why even windows won’t boot now. I might tell getac about this and ask for help, unfortunately this isn’t under warranty so I won’t be getting a replacement.
