I recently bought an ASUS Transformer Book T100. I planned to put openSUSE 13.1 i586 with LXDE on it. No luck... the new UEFI (BIOS replacement) didn't even show my thumb drive when I tried to boot to it. I've been reading up on this topic and apparently I will have to run a 64-bit OS with a kernel version of 3.14 or higher. I tried openSUSE Factory x64. This time my thumb drive did show up in the UEFI, but I couldn't boot to it. When I tried to, the screen went black for a moment, and then I was dumped right back into the same UEFI screen. I had the same results with several other newer 64-bit distros.
The best luck that I have had so far is with "Fedlet," a Fedora hack for Bay Trail tablets. I can boot to a live version of this distro which includes an install to HDD application. When I run that, I get through the software installation part, but the installer errors out trying to write a boot loader to the drive.

Is SUSE planning on supporting this hardware? If so, does anyone have a time frame as to when this might be? I've blasted Windows 8 off of this thing (no regrets - I find it unusable), so I am currently left with running live "Fedlet" as my only option.
If this information has already been posted, then please just tell me where to look.
Thanks in advance!
