I am using my HP Envy 4-1115dx with a USB Key running a Live ISO of Fedora 20 64-bit booted with UEFI.<\/p>\n
It’s working\u00a0 pretty well. Feels good, I\u00a0 can use my touchpad and touchscreen is working to a degree. The touchpad is really touchy though. I do have the turn off while typing and it seems to be working better with that on. Responsive to touch of the touchpad when I am not typing, instantly, so far.<\/p>\n
This is good, better than how Ubuntu feels on any computer, live cd or installed.<\/p>\n
I used Fedora long ago … glad to be back, this far, easily. I downloaded the live usb creator and the version of Fedora I wanted to use. (On Windows 8.1 64-bit)<\/p>\n
I had to use a command prompt in the directory I had the creator in and use the name of the .exe file and ”\u00a0 –force G:” (the drive letter of my USB Key) to get it to recogize my USB Key. It wrote the iso steadily and that was that.<\/p>\n
