Little by little Ubuntu is reaching mobile devices. Although not as we would all like. In any case, if we recently knew that BQ had launched a tablet with Ubuntu Touch, now it seems that other tablets will also have Ubuntu.
A user named Beto Sánchez has released several images and guides to install Ubuntu Budgie on tablets with Intel Bay Trail. Tablets that are more and more frequent and that work quite well. And above all, devices that are called Chinese tablets, due to their Asian origin.
In this case, the tablet model used is Onda Tablet PC, a device with Intel that can carry Android or Windows or both and that it has a price below 200 euros. This user relied on this internal storage partitioning to create a third drive within internal storage and using external storage managed to install a live image of Ubuntu Budgie, well, in this case we have to say Budgie Remix 16.10. A version of Ubuntu with the Budgie desktop.
Tablets with Intel could be conducive to installing Ubuntu as the main operating system
The truth is that this unofficial development can be interesting for many users who want to have or use Ubuntu on their tablets, because it can make all those tablets of Chinese origin have an appeal thanks to Ubuntu. And it can make us have a device similar to BQ Aquaris M10, with Ubuntu and fully functional but for less money than the cost of the BQ Aquaris M10 or its proprietary alternatives.
Personally I think it is a breakthrough something that many users of the Community will take advantage of, although official Ubuntu does not recognize the efforts of this user, but if users do not do this How will you get Ubuntu to your mobile devices? What do you think?
And the guide link?
