No orientation detection – screen needs rotating to 90 deg manually if you want to use it in landscape mode Some of these versions are also subject to the audio problem when upgrading the kernel. Older Versions: Ubuntu 18.04—20.04
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 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 I did however find an Ubuntu 21.04 PPA for Gnome 40, which I installed following these instructions. The result isn’t perfect—as you can see in this picture there are some strange visual artifacts when using the new Activities view—but I’m not sure that’s specific to the Linx tablet, more likely it’s just due to the software not being fully supported on Ubuntu yet. Touch screen, rotation etc. work fine. You’ll also be asked which disk/partition to install GRUB too — just leave this as the default as it won’t work anyway. We’ll fix that later. 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.Brilliantly portable and perfectly productive, the Linx 10V32 gives you a tablet experience without limits. Powered by a quad-core Intel Atom x5 processor and Windows 10 Home, all of your favourite games, apps and videos are brought to life on the stunning 10.1" display. 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 graphics 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. If you are going to use this tablet at home in a semi-fixed location it might be worth getting a set of Bluetooth speakers.
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

I then connected to the internet and allowed the tablet to update itself according to the default settings. This included automatic updates to the graphics and touchscreen drivers. After a full set of updates, the status was still as above. 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. When I selected not to continue I got an option to report the bug to Fedora, which I did. I also was able to see and copy the installation log file as below. 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. 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:
