I have a $300 (CAD) Dell Inspiron 11 3180. According to my mid 2018
notes I tried Devuan_ascii_2.0.0_i386_desktop-live.iso and had issues
with graphics being corrupt. I didn't troubleshoot.

This isn't a daily driver; it's a toy that I ended up putting Lubuntu
18.10 amd64 on.

Booting from USB was annoying to figure out:

In general, I was interested in Dell brand laptops because of their
explicit Ubuntu support, meaning that Devuan would likely work fine.
They also have *spectacular* support.
