Default Android for my Acer Aspire One

Readers comments on installing Android on my x86 Acer netbook are most
welcome. I know that x86 versions of Android are out there but I am
hoping for some high numbers like KitKat 4.4, or whatever.


Modern Android ( 4.0) requires a GPU else things are very very slow. I
don't know what GPU you have, but I imagine the drivers are nonexistent
or terrible.

Android is also not terribly fun without a touchscreen.

It's possibly someone has cooked up a build of Android for your particular
machine, but otherwise I wouldn't expect a smooth experience with a generic
x86 Android.

I'd stick with a lightweight distro of Linux, which is more likely to be
usable on your hardware.
