The next Nexus7 apparently will have an octocore option! That's not a consumption tool - or it shouldn't be!On Thu, 26 Sep 2013, Rob Beard wrote:As for running Linux on a tablet, what is the state of things like X or Wayland?

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.What am I missing?
