About this deal

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: 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 You can attempt to fix this by following this procedure, but it will be much easier (although more time consuming) to install 20.04.3 and do an in-place upgrade to a later release.

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 ;) 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. So here we are my review of the Linx 1010. I will be doing my review in a couple of sections and naturally, your usage may vary. I am going to add that I am not doing any stress tests or benchmarks – you can find them all over the World Wide Web. My review is based on the day-to-day usage I would have with it. I have also tried Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE on the tablet. These are generally less demanding and therefore faster and more responsive than GNOME or KDE. However, they also don’t fully cater for tablets in the way that the bigger desktop environments. For example, when I last tested them, none of the three support automatic rotation of the screen based on the accelerometer, or automatic rotation of touch inputs. That means you’ll have to set your screen rotation to landscape manually if you want to use it in that orientation, and if you want to use the touchscreen in landscape orientation, you’ll need to rotate it using the command-line scripts shown here. Two main builds of Chrome/Chromium OS exist for installation on generic PCs – ChromeOS Flex and Arnold the Bat.

Linx 10 - Technical Overview

When it comes to step 3 of the installation, you should be offered to “Install Ubuntu alongside Windows Boot Manager”. Don’t choose this, instead choose “Something Else”.

If you want to use a Linux distro other than Fedora, a desktop environment other than GNOME, or a different operating system entirely, the following sections gives some information and additional steps that may help you out. The majority of users who have followed the instructions above can stop reading here! Other Desktop Environments Install the 32-bit version of grub by executing the following from a terminal: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32 grub-efi-ia32-bin 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 FedoraIf 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 Want to know how slow? I have been charging it from this afternoon from about 3 pm to 1 am the next day, which is 11%. Yep, I’ll let that sink in – horrible ain’t it? I am going to try other chargers and see if there are any firmware updates but just be warned this tablet can take ages to charge.
