Is ASUS X205TA hardware supported in newer Linux Kernels?

I've recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my friend's X205TA netbook.
I ran into quite a few problems during and after the install, including no boot, freezes, malfunctioning audio jack, no battery status and no WiFi.
I've seen this megathread and it contains a lot of information about how to get some of the devices working and I managed to get the WiFi and bluetooth running for example but there's still plenty of other stuff to cover.



Ubuntu 18.04 comes with a 4.15 kernel, I was wondering if newer kernel versions have better support of Intel Bay Trail CPUs and the devices used on the ASUS X205TA EeeBook.
Do newer kernel versions have this problem already solved or not?
If not, are there any other distros of Linux that support this netbook?

  • The problem is not for the kernel to solve. It's Intel's fault from the start and the situation is still more or less the same.
