Re: Want to buy/get/configure a Linux (*_not_* Android)! tablet.

Or go for a tablet/phone which will run LineageOS and put opengaps pico on =
it. Works for me, keeps most of google out of my life!
Seasons Greetings to all ILUGers

I got fedora booted/installed on a windows x86 tablet before. But the
experience was pretty bad, driver and performance wise.

I ended up putting android on it, but that was enough of a confusing
ordeal to scare me away from suggesting it to anyone.




Maybe driver support is better now, who knows.
Also, without google play services, a copy of replicant (de-googled
android, just free software) shouldn't spy on your location for google
unless you tell it to.
