Linux on chuwi hi 10 go

Yes, I’ve tried to install different distros. First one I tried was KDE neon (based on ubuntu). I tried kernel 5.11, that seemed to have the necessary display drivers. (Had to boot up the install with nomodeset added in the grub, otherwise install boot would hang on a sound error.)

After installing the distro, I had to install the 5.11 kernel. Then I could remove the nomodeset in the grub.

The screen is rotated the wrong way. After installing you can rotate it how you want. However, touch does not follow the rotation, I did not manage to get that working yet, nor did I look into it.

Then, the sound. I did not get the sound working. These are the hardware id’s:

Vendor (Intel): 8086
Hardware: 4dc8

I think there might be drivers for the sound card in a newer kernel (above 5.11, 5.13 for example, but didn’t try it.)

The rotation sensor also doesn’t work, I added an issue for it here.

Let me know if you try anything.
