| Distribution | Last tested | LiveUSB | Package Management | Rolling Release | systemd? | Ease |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slackware | 2016-03-25 - 14.1 | text installer | partial + third-party | security | No (1, 2, 3) | "other" |
| Lubuntu | 2016-03-25 - 14.04.4 LTS | yes | yes | yes | yes | easy, light |
(I may get around to updating this table for other distributions, or expanding it.)

While using this, I also dual-booted into Linux.
Before Windows 8.1, I used Windows Legacy.
