About this deal

If you’re having to run that script on 20.04.3 anyway I’d try using 22.04 instead. Everything works out of the box (apart from the cameras and needing to run that script to install grub32). Sound is flaky though hence I suggest your try it rather than giving you a hard recommendation ;) Apart from a small amount of give in the chassis on the left-hand side where all the ports are situated, the Linx 10 feels solid and doesn't give off the vibe of a budget tablet. One more thing i can note (don’t really know if it will help) is that the BSOD will only be visible for a short period (had to use slow motion camera to even read the msg) if i have any partition on the disk. If the disk is blank the message will stay on screen until force reboot. Restart the tablet without the Live USB inserted, and hopefully you get into your proper installed OS. Manually Install 32-bit Grub (Without chroot) The screen is smaller so I used accessibility to set a larger font, my eyes not being what they were

After a short delay, you will be presented with a “Reclaim disk space” dialog with a list of the device’s partitions, which you will need to modify to make space for Linux.

Still, small niggles aside, the Linx 10 is a well-designed – but not particularly inspired – budget tablet. Specifications It’s worth saying that during my test there was a part where I lost connection to the Internet but I believe this is more related to BT Openzone that I was using during these tests. I found a ‘solution’ for the Linx 1020 touch screen not working problem - it is a real quirk. Here it is: Out of interest I also tried the Stream in-house streaming or whatever it was called and it worked pretty well. Some hiccups here with the frame rate but it was playable. Now both touch screen and accelerometer screen autorotation work but the portrait modes are upside down. If you have any advice to fix that I would be grateful.

While using the (pre-existing) EFI system partition as your /boot partition is considered a valid choice on many machines, don’t do that on this tablet. It’s only 100 MB and will fill up before your bootloader is properly installed and configured. And since it’s at the start of the disk, it can’t be enlarged unless you completely throw away your Windows volume. After copying files and configuring the system, the installer will show an error message because it failed to install GRUB. This is OK — installing GRUB is the last step, so the rest of the install has worked fine. The last game I tried was naturally Final Fantasy XIV which did work at quite a low frame rate (around 20-30fps). I was able to do this by turning down every single setting, lowering the number of objects I could see at once and setting the resolution down to VGA (640×480). I did not try any dungeons or raids as I could not connect my Xbox One Wifi Adaptor due to using the other USB port for the flash drive (and Bluetooth never worked on this controller although the device did see it). If you’re using a non-standard setup, some of the following sections might provide some useful information and code to fix problems you may have. From here on, we assume a reasonable level of knowledge with Linux, disk partitioning etc. Screen Rotation I've also previously recommended Rufus for use with Fedora images, due to issues with Fedora Media Writer. As of December 2022 (Fedora Workstation 37), Fedora Media Writer seems to have improved in reliability, so I now recommend it as it's easier to use than Rufus.

Regardless, I don’t think just copying that directory will work. I suspect you have a second problem here - the installer didn’t detect your Bay Trail 32-bit EFI issue properly, so not only has it not put BOOATIA32.EFI in the right area, it’s also installed a 64-bit grub instead of a 32-bit one. No orientation detection – screen needs rotating to 90 deg manually if you want to use it in landscape mode There should be a line that reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". Edit that so it reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=0 quiet splash". The microphone was pretty bad but you can always add a Bluetooth headset (it worked fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend). If you are expecting to use this to capture audio – I wouldn’t bother.

But I went into the bios - looked around, did nothing (there are no sound controls that I can see) and then booted up.
