Detailed description：Is it possible to install unix-like system on this mini PC in the near future via BIOS-update ? I think it is very unwise to disable it nowadays !

I bought PN50 a week ago.
I can't understand why ASUS did not want this mini PC to work under non-MS systems.
Unix-like systems are more popular these days and are even more powerful and stable.
They make a wonderful box but confine it's possibilities.
Speechless !!

Dear all,
May I know which Linux version would you like to install?
And which option in BIOS are you looking for?
I will consult specifically with our designers.
Thank you very much.

Thank for the answer.
I try to install linux mint 20.
Although I've disabled the "secure boot" and "fast boot" options in the bios setting, it didn't work.
I guess there should be an option like "OS-Type --> Other OS" in the bios setting which enables one to install non-MS systems. (I said "guess" because it is in almost other pcs and the name of the selection may be different.)
Thanks!
