I wanted to buy a good tablet for media consumption and after remembering that there are tablets that can run Linux instead of android i decided to go for one of them.
After surfing a bit I reached the conclusion that a chuwi was the best option, so here I am looking for the most compatible and cheap tablet to do so.
Well I will be happy to also know the opinion of the community and from the folks that are running it on their tablet.
I also wanted to know if there will be a official Linux option in the not too far future because I think I read about it in the forums.
I’m a Manjaro user in my gaming pc and laptop but i wanted a cheap tablet to watch youtube and read a couple of pdfs, so future storage expansion is a must for me. Can any of this tablets have an ssd installed?
I would by one for me and other for my dad, because he is a teacher and wants a light weight device that can work as a mini blackboard to project, and he uses a lot (and wen I say a lot is like 6.000 pdfs) and also runs Linux mint.
Happy to see manjaro user here. I am Manjaro ARM Team maintainer
I am here to help users port to linux. I will be happy to collaborate with chuwi in getting official Manjaro support and release a device with manjaro pre-installed.
I wish manufacturer will move towards Linux soon.
No nothing yet. Everyone seems busy due to the worldwide issue. I would be happy to make this official, only if chuwi is interested
Time will only tell
I would suggest you to buy Lenovo M10 Tablet.I am currently using it. I bought it recently in these lockdown period for teaching coding to my kids. It is one of the best windows tablet in terms of affordability and usage.
