For now I need to investigate, I have no experience with Android on x86 and changing OS on such devices.
Any hints here are welcome.
Alexis.

Thank you for your answer, my fear is mainly their halo keyboard.
If you already have the device, try booting a LiveCD and try to run it.
Not yet.
Ah. Yeah, that makes all of it a bit more dicey. And I hadn't realized
it was Android. I was looking at the laptops, not the "book".
Won't cost you anything except the use of a thumbdrive or blank CD and
your time. You'll need the CD anyway if you find it works and you decide
to install.
Yep that's the plan, but before burning 500€ I would be happy to be sure
it won't be like Bay-Trail Atoms and their 32bit UEFI or something like
this.
Uhm, dunno about that. I'd suspect it's a 64-bit UEFI BIOS, but Lenovo
often has their own ideas about what's needed. The machine comes with
Android Marshmallow (6) and I'm not sure what requirements that has
as far as UEFI is concerned.
I have read that others have installed Ubuntu onto Yogas and beyond
some teething problems with the on-screen keyboards, gestures and
mouse clicks (somewhat similar to what Alexis says below), it seems to
work.
The problem with this device is that without keyboard you are really stuck.
I guess there's a possibility of using a USB keyboard if you have
issues. That being said, if this is going to be your primary machine and
you're on a budget, you may not want to be the David on this. If you
can afford it and have the time, I'm sure the community would LOVE to
have someone sort this out. I'd be interested (oh, gawd, just what I
need...another bloody computer!)

I just installed CentOS 7.3 on a Lenovo Twist Ultra Laptop. Works fine
for the most part but:
* Keyboard/touchpad do NOT work 'out of the box'. Small mod to grub
file
fixed keyboard and 'mouse' part of touchpad (ie, mouse moves around on
screenn and touchpad click works) but touchpad buttons do NOT work.
* Wired network works fine, wireless does NOT. Fix is supposedly
available on line, but haven't tried it yet.
Runs great once you get it up.
Good luck,
Billy

Hi,
Does anyone tried to install Fedora the Lenovo Yoga Book? If yes does
it works well? I wonder if the keyboard/touchpad is well supported.
Best regards,
Alexis.
