Since its an arms based tablet It should be able to run something like postmarket os but since its not officially supported maybe lacking some features
Oh thats really cool I kinda what to try that now.
Just wondering how is touch screen support on desktop linux? Would some apps be unsupported out of box?
There are touch centric distros out there. Mobian is the first that comes to mind. Running something like Ubuntu touch would probably be ideal. Either way, something on the cheaper side like this to try Linux on in order to find out what does and doesn’t work is what I’m interested in.
It’s cheaper to buy a refurbished tablet that is known to work with your target distro. Ubuntu touch lists Lenovo tablets that are under $100 for refurbished
Can you install some other Linux distro on it?
Lenovo is not usually good for making hardware that works well with common Linuxes

Yeah, but with fex coming along, no need to stick with Android just because of ARM. I’d rather just be done with Google.

That’s assuming the bootloader isn’t unlockable. Lenovo doesn’t have the best reputation for that.
I’m hoping they start changing their tune considering they are going to be a hardware vendor for GrapheneOS on their Motorola brand.
