I have an unused Windows tablet from 2021 running some Core M processor or other that I want to put Linux on and start using again. It doesn’t have a keyboard so I would have to actually use it as a tablet and not a laptop. Is there a distro built around one of the mobile desktop environments that also runs well on x86? (Last time I tried Linux mobile it was pretty much only for ARM and I never got it to work well on even an x86 virtual machine.) Or is regular GNOME deskrop still my best bet for a tablet?
That’s interesting! Actually a friend contacted me yesterday about android on a PC, and while I immediately replied „no“ I just revisited this and saw your reply! We‘ll give it a shot I think! Thank you!
On Linux there’s also the Waydroid project which might be a more safe option and actually runs pretty well on my budget machine considering it runs on top of another OS.
Oh that’s interesting. Just out of curiousity, do you know whether I can connect to devices via Bluetooth from e.g. Waydroid? Would maybe give it a try!
I didn’t try that, but I think it is not possible, but since the Android is running on top of Linux, you just connect to your bluetooth headphones using the under Linux and it will have the same result.
