I use UX31e with Ubuntu for a year now. They had suspend issues, but you can fix it with a script. Generally it worked stable. Current Ubuntu got Kernel 3.5, no issues so far.
Now the problem is, that since 12.10 they integrated amazon shopping lens, social-network crap and cloud-stuff. This is going into the wrong direction clearly, so I consider swithcing to Debian wheezy as soon as it’s declared stable.
That means I go back to Kernel 3.2.
Now this website is the best information I found on the topic, but it’s been a fre weeks since last update.
So here’s my question: Will UX31E be running stable and without any shutdowns etc. under STANDARD Debian Wheezy?
Because If i have to compile my own kernel / apply patches to kernel(config) etc. something is *clearly* broken and I will stick with Ubuntu for another while. Even tough I do not agree with the direction they’re taking, it runs very stable on UX31E.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s cool all the work you put into it to make it work. I just think that if a operating system is broken that hard, so it makes this effort necessary, I will definitely not use it.
Again – my question is: Will Debian Wheezy with standard Installation / Kernel etc. work properly on UX31E?
If not, what’s the effort I’d have to calculate? Is it done in 1-2 Hours or does it *really* involve compiling Kernels and whatnot (and as soon as a new Kernel Update comes I’d have to do it again) etc. etc.
Does the wheezy kernel (3.2.30-1) randomly die when you do that? If so, is there a bug filed about this?
I have no idea. I really wanted first less power usage so I tested mainly bleeding edge kernels with experimental RC6 support.
Humm, I guess I’ll give 3.6 a go now…
Are you still using building your kernels with the instructions at http://fenski.pl/2012/02/quick-howto-for-the-most-stable-linux-kernel-with-zenbook/ ?
and…the last question: Battery life? I have noticed no difference since 3.2, around 5 hours when being carefull on the brightness.
Yes, I’m still using this script, but with some commented out lines no longer needed.

Can you please give me your thoughts on this?
Not really
I’m running Linux Mint with self-baked kernel to have touchpad working.
