Early Ubuntu display support
In December 2024, Robtech reported graphics support problems when booting Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS from USB on his N150 EQ14. This is a dated software compatibility finding, not a test of current Linux releases.

Later Linux kernel check
In January 2025, Lifting Linux reported limited display settings with Ubuntu’s kernel 6.8 and said upgrading to kernel 6.12 resolved the problem on his N150 EQ14. His Linux installation differs from the Windows 11 Home configuration listed here.
