One problem I had with it had to do with its grub config, Had multi OS boot and the grub insisted on adding everything in. Ended up with a page or two of kernels. Hope they fixed it by now. Question, I have an old Toshiba A20 satelite laptop with a cyberblade trident graphics. Ubuntu favors only work up to 12.04 with it, nothing after 12.04 seems to work.
Probably should create a new post for best visibility/response.. But will try to answer...
If its OLD and 32-bit is your only option.. LL 3.x or 2.x will be the options.. LL 4.x is 64-bit only...
The Hardware Database is a good place to look for similar hardware which there are a few.. https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware_res...ch_results
Another option would be to create a LiveUSB and test on your system...
