The Joy of being on the bleeding edge

[Teddy]

Since the machine is really new, stick with distros that have newer kernels. That will give you the drivers needed to operate the hardware on your motherboard. The Linux Lite 2.x series is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which is now almost 2 years old. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will come out sometime by mid or late April 2016. The kernels on the LTS releases do not change much at all, though Ubuntu adds more hardware support twice every year after the original release date, until the next LTS release [or so they claim].
