There is a quite major issue with the keyboard and touchpad stopping working if dock battery goes low.

Lock-key in the upper right corner can be made to be delete key by adding /usr/sbin/mapdeletekey to startup applications.

Network-manager (wifi) icon is broken, fix is to re-install icon themes, as described here.

It seemed to be fixed by upgrading anything libgtk-2.0 and libgtk-3.0 related (~6 packages or so).

Sometimes the mouse/GTK would hang if moving/resizing a window.

It seems to break something and the system no longer boots.

Do not run apt-get update & apt-get upgrade.

Remove the dock before turning the tablet on!

The tablet cannot be booted with the dock connected.

There are several issues, some of which can be fixed and some do not at the moment seem to have a fix. Confirm flashing the image by swiping right.ДЄfter a moment the flash process is done and it is time to reboot the system.ДЄfter reboot, there was quite a long time with black screen, and then.Д®asy! The installation was a success on the first try! From the menu select SD card as the source directory, and then select the kernel zip file, Ubuntu-3.1.

To install the kernel, it is necessary to reboot to the recovery with the external micro-SD card still installed.

That is all for now, next is time to install the kernel. It may be also necessary to copy the necessary kernel modules, at least for some kernel versions: The external micro-SD card where I put all the files was in the path /storage/6E20-1C26/ so that needs to be changed to match where the SD-card is located.

In Android terminal run the following commands to uncompress the Linux distribution to /data/linuxroot: With these versions, they can reside side by side with Android, so it is possible to have both installed and run either one by just flashing the correct kernel. When all the necessary files are downloaded (or installed), it is time to uncompress the linux distribution. You also need SuperSU or similar and a terminal emulator. Make sure you have latest TWRP recovery on the tablet. I used the slightly overclocked 1.2 GHz version. I understood that the difference is that 1.0GHz is the standard processor speed, while 1.2GHz is a bit overclocked and 1.5GHz is rather high overclock. I assume their installation is similar, but I used the lubuntu one.ДЄlso in the second link there is different kernels. Note that in the first link there is also other distributions that can be used. It may not be necessary, but I also downloaded Ubuntu-3.1. from the second source link.It is necessary to download to the SD card (root) following files: To prepare for the installation, one needs an empty micro-SD card, at least some 2 GB or so. Main sources for the process were following: In this post I present the process I used since the guides were scattered around multiple posts. So I decided to go for it, and it turns out, the process was very easy with the already-rooted tablet! It had been possible for many years already, and significant development had happened until 2016 or so. Some weeks ago I found out, that it is possible to install Linux on the tablet. It was nice, but still I didn't find much use for the tablet. Many years ago I rooted the tablet and installed a custom, newer Android ROM made by Timduru.
