About this deal

Once installation is complete, your tablet will prompt you to reboot. It should now start up automatically into the new Ubuntu installation. Very many thanks for your reply. I had a look at the Fedora bug reports but couldn’t see anything relevant to me. With regard to your questions: Auto-rotate screen was working in the installer, but not here in the installed system. That may be due to my setting rotate in grub. Having also now tried 20.04 on it for a while I’d say 22.04 is going to be a very nice upgrade for these tablets. The onscreen keyboard not pulling up with a swipe, not working on all authentication prompts and the sound issue are the big annoyances. Plus needing that manual grub32 install ;)

I’ve not looked at logs from Anaconda (Fedora’s installer) before, but if you can find some log files from it and send them my way, there’s a chance I can figure out what’s going wrong. Whether you dual-boot with Windows or wipe out Windows completely and just use Linux is up to you. Linux is now suitable for daily use on this tablet, so I’ve wiped off Windows completely. If you’re not sure, you can dual-boot for a while—but note that if you have two operating systems on the tablet, both operating systems will be very limited in the amount of space available to them. Edit the default GRUB configuration on your tablet by opening /etc/default/grub in a text editor as root (e.g. sudo nano /etc/default/grub). These versions do not install alongside Windows properly or set up GRUB properly with the system’s 32-bit UEFI. Follow this procedure to get them installed:With a full-size USB port, the Linx 10V32 lets you connect all your external devices wihtout the need for additional hubs or cables. Whether you need files from your external HDD, prefer to use a mouse when working, or just want to plug in your Windows Xbox controller for a better gaming experience, the Linx 10V32 lets you work and play the way you want to.

Turn the tablet on while holding the Volume Up button. The screen should say something like “Esc is pressed”, then you will be given a setup menu. No orientation detection – screen needs rotating to 90 deg manually if you want to use it in landscape mode Set the boot partition on the disk used by Linux. You will probably need # to leave this blank for Ubuntu with standard install options and no dual-boot # But on Fedora for example, this should be set to /dev/mmcblk1p2. boot = # Set a temporary location in which to mount the root partition. tempmount =/mnt/target

Specifications

The other big Linux desktop environment, KDE Plasma, also works fairly well. Again this is a heavyweight desktop like GNOME, so it can feel a little slow. It’s also not quite as touch-oriented, but while I think it works better with a mouse or touchpad than the touchscreen, it’s still perfectly usable. I have tested Fedora’s KDE “spin” and can confirm it sets up KDE just fine, so if that’s your preference, use the Fedora KDE spin image from the start. When the GUI appears, press once on the workspace, then press the “Install to Hard Drive” button. The initial window will disappear, but just wait—the installer will appear after a minute or so. Installing Fedora I did have a few issues, mainly caused by the tablet only having a single micro USB port so the entire install had to be done on battery, which ran out while the installation process said it was configuring software, but on reboot I was amazed to find Fedora was on there and appears to work The Linx Connector lets you expand your experience with compatible Linx tablets and accessories. The super-low profile connector has been developed to open up a world of new options that let you take your tablet further. Some of these versions are also subject to the audio problem when upgrading the kernel. Older Versions: Ubuntu 18.04—20.04
