Hey all,
TableX Arm Linux Tablet Runs Armbian Ubuntu, To Launch for 89 Euros If you want an Arm Linux laptop, you have already some choices with products such as Pine64 Pinebook, or Olimex TERES-I open source hardware laptop, but if instead you’d rather do without keyboard, and get an Arm Linux tablet, choices are much more limited, if any at all.
Hope this is the right area to be posting -- my apologizes if its not. Was just wondering if any of you had any experience installing Arch Linux on a tablet? Right now I have Arch running on my Lenovo s400 touch laptop and was very impressed with how nicely Arch interacts with the touch screen. This got me thinking about maybe installing Arch on my Dell Venue 8 Pro I picked up a few weeks ago. I read also on some guys blog about how he installed Fedora on his Dell tablet but was having problems obtaining propritery touch drivers or something.
Anyways I bought a micro-USB to USB cable and had a crack at trying to boot my Arch USB on the tablet but I ran into some problems trying to disable secure boot. I'm still going to poke around on there and see what I can do -- I'm sure its possible I just have to figure it out. If I make any more progress I will update this post/thread. In the meantime though was just wondering if any of you guys on here had had any luck booting an Arch ISO on a tablet, any tablet really and if you managed to get an install up and running. I'd be really interested to hear. I did see this wiki article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tablet_PC but that'll be more helpful after the install is done.
Cheers guys,
Esko
