Hi Felmon,

thank you and William and Nikolaus for help.
I have Debian/Trinity installed on a Zenbook UX330 which is why I thought it
safe to attempt it on this Zenbook UX433FAC-A5348T but my attempts have failed.
the installer craps out and sends me to the commandline. I have tried with
Debian Live and netinst, 4Q0S live and Devuan ASCII netinst.
I did disable Secure Boot without disastrous consequences, that is, the native
Windows Home still boots, etc.
I do not want to do too much 'surgery' since it is fresh bought and I can return
it if it's not too far from default state.
I wanted to boot up Linux, look around and then determine my install strategy. I
may be plotting my return strategy instead.
not sure how to diagnose. I see an error as follows:
'please fix 'fbdev' driver. fbdev didn't call xf86SetGamma to
initialise'. no
idea how to fix it.
Gerhard, Nikolaus, how do you get '|' on a German keyboard? I can't do
a 'dmesg | less' without it. (actually the keyboard is German but I
suppose the key setup is American.)

I have a new notebook I want to install
Debian/Trinity on.
'Secure Boot' is turned on. maybe this doesn't account for the problems
I'm
having but my question is about it.
in the BIOS I can turn it off but it says doing so "requires platform
reset."
turning it off within Windows simply reboots to the BIOS.
I can't figure out if this is just another word for 'reboot' or does it have
other consequences? googling yields no clear (or trustworthy) answer.
it's an Asus Zenbook with Windows 10 Home; BIOS is American Megatrends
version 300.
No answer about "platform reset" maybe I simply do not remember but - I have
installed Linux Mint / Mate (including Trinity) on two Asus Zenbooks without a
problem. The last was a Zenbook Flip of a friend.
