    Question: Forgive me if this is dumb, I am old! I know you were referring to the PinePhone in your article, but if these are Arm distros, can I install them on an android tablet? I am looking to purchase a tablet(cheaper side, a little above a budget model), but want to use real Linux.

      Sadly most Android tablets are too locked down to allow this.

      There are however two upcomming Linux tablets that look very promising: the FydeTab Duo and the PineTab2.

        Thank you! That is a shame. I actually looked at PineTab…although very excited that we are finally have organizations willing to work on free hardware as well, right now, Pine just doesn’t offer options with the resources I want. I made this long without a tablet, maybe just wait for Pine to get more developed and then circle back
