As for running Linux on a tablet, what is the state of things like X or Wayland? It seems that a lot of the tablets I've looked at have 3 or 4 different GPUs, are drivers available for all of these?
Who cares. I mean really. Who cares & what's the point.I recently bought myself a 8" tablet for some experiments. I've teamed it up with a little keyboard. It tethers to my Phone with its giffgaff sim and it runs ssh, web, has a local filesystem, can view photos, videos and play games.
And for that purpose it's just fine.I'm not developing on it, I don't want to stunt its graphics, or run its batterys flat with X - it's a user tool, not a development platform.
