Linx 1010 10.1-Inch Tablet - Black (Intel Atom Z3735F 1.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage, WLAN, Bluetooth, Camera, Windows 10) (Renewed)

Product Information

Since these tablets only have 2GB RAM enabling zswap is probably a good idea. Just add “zswap.enabled=1” to “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT”, update-grub and reboot The speakers on this device are alright and are not something you would replace a set of speakers in your home for but it gets the job done. I was able to listen to some music without going nuts over the sound for an hour or two while testing YouTube, Netflix and so forth. From that base, Windows should update itself to 20H2 and all the hardware, drivers etc. will continue to work. However, it won’t update any further by itself. From Microsoft Image 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. Some of these versions are also subject to the audio problem when upgrading the kernel. Older Versions: Ubuntu 18.04—20.04

You should be able to connect to WiFi, use the tablet with or without the keyboard, and do almost everything you'd like to do with the tablet. Unless you'd like to explore other operating systems or desktop environments, you can stop reading here. Web browsing is pretty much the bread and butter of this device and not surprisingly this tablet does the job fine. You can easily browse the World Wide Web with Google Chrome and keep quite a lot of tabs open without seeing anything noticeable. Set the disk you will install grub into the bootloader of. The example here # is my internal storage on the tablet. disk =/dev/mmcblk1 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.

HOWTO: Install Linux on a Linx 1010B Tablet | Guide | Ian Renton Ian Renton Blog Projects « Guide HOWTO: Install Linux on a Linx 1010B Tablet

atomisp_ov2680: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. To round things off, I then went into Optional Updates and installed the Realtek Bluetooth driver from there. Once installed, Bluetooth started working again—so I believe that’s now a fully functional tablet on the latest Windows 10! 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. I generally use my 1010b in landscape mode as a laptop, and only want the scrambled desktop to happen manually. Other note, I had to use safe graphics or the screen would blank & the install would stop, scroll down to the “Troubleshooting” entry in the initial grub menu to get to safe/basic graphicsTurn 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. 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. 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. 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. There’s no touch support at this stage. If you have a keyboard, press Up to select the top option, and Enter to run it immediately. If not, you’ll have to wait 60 seconds for the menu, then several more minutes while the OS image is tested. After that, the Fedora live environment will boot. There may be some text on screen during this time, don’t panic! The startup takes a couple of minutes but it will get there eventually.
