The low end of ASUS includes things like the X205TA.

Here's Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/X205TA

Here's Ubuntu (this is a very long thread): https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254322

There's a video on youtube of a school tech support guy who has a bunch (149) of ASUS X200 to image the drives from a USB drive, and that involves updating the "bios" and then editing the bios settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yectQ5MeS_Y

tl;dr: it's not fun on any of these netbooks.
