Very good and compatible with Linux
I installed Linux (Kubuntu 20 LTS), everything works fine from the start.
This PC is very light, perfect for travelling.
With its compact and lightweight brushed aluminium chassis, the MSI Modern 14 notebook is a perfect mobile companion. With its slim-frame Full HD IPS display and backlit keyboard, it also offers excellent working comfort. The MSI Modern 14 A10M-671XFR laptop offers excellent performance and fast operation thanks to its Intel Core i5-10210U processor, 8GB of DDR4 memory and 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD.
The Modern 14 laptop features a 10th generation Intel Core processor and an SSD, both of which deliver excellent performance and fast boot times. Ideal for comfortable working and quality multimedia entertainment.
The Modern 14's screen is surrounded by a thin 5.7 mm border, which ensures an excellent screen-to-system ratio for a 14-inch notebook. Thanks to its anti-glare IPS panel with Full HD resolution, this MSI notebook will give you an image rich in detail and colour. Plus, with wide viewing angles, the colours will remain consistent no matter where you stand in front of the screen.
Enjoy high-quality, dignified sound with Nahimic 3 Enhancer technology that delivers virtual 7.1 surround sound and immerses you in your movies or video games.
This laptop is supplied with FreeDOS, a basic operating system, leaving you the option of installing a compatible operating system (either already in your possession or purchased separately). The installation of Windows 10 64-bit is recommended, so that you can make full use of the possibilities offered by this laptop. Windows 7/8/8.1 cannot be installed on this model.

I installed Linux (Kubuntu 20 LTS), everything works fine from the start.
This PC is very light, perfect for travelling.
Installing Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS --> OK, the wifi caused me some trouble but the problem was quickly solved on the ubuntu forum, the rest works fine (I haven't had time to try everything yet), the keyboard and screen backlighting works perfectly. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the touchpad.
I've been using it for 2 days now and it works very well, the screen quality is top notch.
Computer purchased a fortnight ago. Installed Ubuntu 18.04 and everything works fine. Computer is light and of satisfactory quality.
