The most offputting part of desktop Linux propaganda is the way they proclaim "everything works" on a completely disfunctional system. The last time I remember Linux worked out of the box was a Fedora in '98. Since then any given distro either refuses to install outright, or major functions can't launch, i.e. network. And don't even mention the mess that are nvidia drivers. This all is on Thinkpads, Intel NUCs and a couple of self-assembled boxes. Touch is a separate topic. One of the major brands is MS Surface Pro. No go either on my Pro 6 or Pro 9. And a couple of cheap Chinese throwaway x86 tablets. Of course, if I'm willing to spend the effort I can make it run reasonably well (depending on your definition). But don't call this "easy". Until you people begin to acknowledge it this is going nowhere. And, BTW, check what Linus has to say about desktop Linux.
I agree it can be hard but that might be a fun challenge to follow, and this timestamp shows Ubuntu was running on Virtualbox, so probably not natively on a tablet th-cam.com/video/Zp8PvxNSxfw/w-d-xo.html .
