Yes I gave them a shot but some times their images do no have ueffi boot binaries. Or their display drivers were not compatible for low power 2 in 1 laptops with 32 bit effi and 64 bit os.
My experiments are noted here: dev.to/twitmyreview/running-linux-...
Other good alternatives:
Zorin OS Lite 15 (latest) , Elementary OS (UI very good but got sound driver issues).
Even Fedora is good, its just that I am more invested in ubuntu/debian ecosystem so I have not tried other Linux distros. And lubuntu happens to be the best distro for me now that works for me out of the box.
Thank you, again everyone have their own needs and choices. My need was to run linux on a low powered laptop where Window 8 OS alone had taken 95% of the space and soon after the next patches it would have been unusable. But for you I think using Virtualbox would be a better choice if you have a powerful enough laptop/system. Linux distros are a great OS to run on your old or low power PCs/mac/laptops if Windows/Apple stops supporting it or become bloat.

have you tried linuxlite or xubuntu instead ?

cool good points there is so much choice out there now
thesedays i stick with whatever OS came with the hardware and ALWAYS run virtualbox with the desktop distro of choice (xubuntu or oracle linux)
