Turning an $80 Android tablet into a Debian Linux PC

Smartphones and tablets are basically little computers with touchscreen displays. But since most ship with mobile operating systems like Android or iPadOS, they’re often tightly tied to Google or Apple for support, services, and app stores, among other things.

So developer tech4bot decided to set a cheap Android tablet free by turning porting Linux to run on it. The Doogee U10 is a budget […]

🎩🤡 So, you took an $80 tablet and wasted hours turning it into a "Debian workstation"? Sure, because who doesn't want a pocket-sized toaster that runs Linux at the speed of molasses? 🚀🙄 Your "tech breakthrough" is truly a groundbreaking way to rekindle the Stone Age. 🪨💻

@cryptgoat Tja anstatt die BigTech Konzerne Zeit und Geld in die Leistungsfähigkeit, Stabilität und Sicherheit ihrer Software zu investieren suchen sie nach Wege den Umstieg so schwer wie möglich zu machen. Kundenbindung durch Fesseln anlegen statt mit Qualität zu überzeugen. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Bei meinem DELL XPS konnte ich leicht, ich bin Linux Neuling, Fedora Linux installieren. Hat jemand eine Idee für ein Linux Tablet?

Highly recommend the HP Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen for the StarLite tablet by @starlabssystems ! It works great out of the box and I tested it in Krita on Debian Trixie with KDE Plasma Comes with a couple extra nibs too, which is nice. They're the hard nibs that feel like the apple pencil, which I love.

Edit: this is not sponsored and there's no affiliation between the two companies (Star Labs and HP). I just wanted to let others know who are shopping around

I have finally fixed the bluetooth on my StarLite! (It had stopped working since I installed Debian w/ KDE Plasma.)
Which means I can finally comfortably use it for longer periods of time with mouse/keyboard. This might well be a game changer for me.

Chat, thoughts on this? https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/braxtechnologies/open_slate

Looks decent for tablet specs, but no clue at how the Linux ARM experience would be, nor if the person backing it is cringe

open_slate: A Powerful and Private 2-in-1 Tablet by Brax Technologies PBC - Indiegogo

Meet open_slate: a poweful 2-in-1 tablet with modular design, native Linux and Android support and hardware killswitches.

Brax open_slate is a privacy-focused tablet with Ubuntu and de-Googled Android support (crowdfunding)

The open_slate is an upcoming tablet with a 12 inch, 2.4K IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Genio 720 processor and support for up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.

But what makes it unlike most tablets on the market is that it’s designed to run open source software, has hardware kill switches to help protect your privacy, and some replaceable components including a removable battery and […]
