    Hi,

    because it was quiet difficult to get linux working with support for the touchscreen I have created a short instruction manual.

    • Create a bootable usb stick with a graphical nixos iso using rufus.
    • Inside the bios, turn of hyperthreading and lower the powerlimit to the minimum possible value
    • Boot the usb stick and follow the steps form the installer. Make sure to create a swap partition with at least 16GB space.
    • Reboot into nixos after completing the initial setup. Open a terminal with root permissions (su). Now copy the two files inside the attached zip (sileadTouch.nix and ezpad6prob.nix) into the folder ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄
    • Edit ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄configuration.nix and add the line including ezpad6prob.nix, such that your config file should look like:
    { config, pkgs, ... }: 
    { 
     imports = 
       [
         ./hardware-configuration.nix 
         ./ezpad6prob.nix 
       ]; 
     boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
    ...
    • Run nixos-rebuild switch and wait 5 hours for the kernel to compile. This is also the reason for the swap partition and power limit, since the tablet can overheat without.
    • Reboot, reenable hyperthreading and raise power limit. Enjoy your working touchscreen.

    My previous post was blocked, probably because it contained slash characters inside the paths. I’ve replaced them with the “⁄” character which looks simmilar, please replace them with proper slash characters when you use them.

    Best,

    Benjamin

    Good morning !!! A week ago I bought a teclast f7s from a colleague and I have decided to change the m2 ssd to have better write rates. I have installed a linux mint and when checking the speed of the ssd, it did not reach 300mb/s when the disk is 500mb/s. I passed the probe tool and it throws me the following message. “2023-02-04 12:26:18 UTC” Probe #d4384ca831 slope game of Teclast F7S Log: smartctl SATA Version is: SATA 3.2, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s) Do you think it is a bios configuration issue? And if so, any help please. I’m a bit desperate, hehehe… thanks in advance

    I have the same problem as what you’ve experience.

    Not a tablet unfortunately but may be helpful to anyone attempting Linux on a Cherry-Trail device.

    Thank you!

    I always used lightshot, never known about that function!

    Do windows and Linux have it? It would be interesting to know

    I left Windows 2 years ago, and have been using Linux as every day driver. But, every time I have to make use of MS Office or its alternatives, I cry.

    LibreOffice is doable. Good enough. But, nothing more. Leaving incompatibilities issues aside, anything complex, it can’t do. Many times, graphs made in LibreOffice won’t look the same else where. Even shortcuts are different.

    Google doc is just an excuse of MS Office. You want page number in roman numbers? You can’t. You want bullet in new style? No, you don’t.

    Office Live? Is just a copy of google doc done poorly by intention. Half of features don’t exist.

    Using MS Office by wine still causes errors. Basic fonts fail to carry over sometimes.

    I don’t have the luxury of dual boot, and have worked over 100 hours in the last week on LibreOffice and Google doc. I realized one thing, OS must be invisible, unnoticeable, silently existing in the background. Every time, people are forced to go thorough it, user number would fall.

    Hello, I have the same problem with also two tbook 16 power. In order not to lose the use of tablets, I only managed to install some linux on them, so I put Debian 11 gnome, but the touch screen doesn’t work. I didn’t find a linux that the touch screen worked.

    A smart phone with the Android operating system, which has become widespread due to the fact that it has an open source code based on Linux. Which smartphones are currently the best on the market with Android OS.

    If you are new to Linux then Linux Mint is a great default distribution choice. fnaf

    Hello,

    I need a larger display than my smartphone for using GPS navigation software while driving. I’m an Android user so I prefer compatibility with Android, UBports or compact Linux such as LXLE or Bodhi. A Multi-boot system is fine if this is necessary to meet my need. Nothing larger than 10″.

    Quality is most important, cost is second. I noticed Chris’s review on the Xiao Xin Pad Pro but the link he provided in his blog entry from March 2021 indicates Banggood has the Global ROM and the information currently posted on Banggood clearly states it is not the Global ROM:

    https://usa.banggood.com/Lenovo-XiaoXin-Pad-Pro-Snapdragon-730G-Octa-Core-6GB-RAM-128GB-ROM-11_5-Inch-OLED-2560+1600-Android-10-Tablet-p-1801575.html?cur_warehouse=HK&rmmds=search

     

    I agree this looks quite good but I do not want to commit to this without learning about alternatives.

    Hi Giuseppe!

    I no longer have the Teclast X6 Pro, but the touchscreen worked quite well for me. I used openSuse tumbleweed and Fedora 34 on this tablet. It has been a nice experience, the screen was amazing, I will miss that. But I needed more power, more memory, so I sold it and decided on a linux laptop instead.

    I have looked for the original Teclast stylus for X6 Pro everywhere, but it is not available anymore, not even at the manufacturer, so I cannot comment on that at all.

    There is a newer model: Teclast X6 Plus is the official name, you might be able to get that with an original stylus, which uses newer technology and has a finer level of pressure sensitivity. I bought this stylus from China, but it wasn’t compatible with the X6 Pro. I still have it, in its original box, if you need it, let me know.

    There are many other Chinese tablet makers on the market, I would recommend to have a good look around and compare the hardware specs, just to have an idea about what is on the market. If it is important for you, perhaps look for information like the year and the power of the CPU, the type of the screen, the technology used with the original stylus, and other details that matter to you, perhaps even reviews, to get an idea of what is newer hardware and what is older. This way you may be able to make a better decision for your needs.

    Even like this, you may need to tinker with the hardware drivers on linux. For example, I could not get any camera working on the X6 Pro, but that wasn’t a problem for me at all.

    I hope I did not mix you up even more with my reply 🙂 Good luck in your search!

    Would love some instructions on deleting Windows 10 and Android and just using Bliss Linux or otherwise with as much working?

    Hate just throwing away a device and my old Chuwi Hi12 should be fast enough to run Linux and easy install if you remove Android and Windows 10 using Windows Bootloader option to go directly into to Linux.

    Thanks for the clarification if anyone can help,

    Sorli…

    Dear Mario,

    there is a way to create a script and launch directly at the boot of a linux system like openelec?

    No luck with Ubuntu Mate… The mouse input is upside down and it just won’t boot after restart. Boot loop on the initial Teclast screen.

    I’m going to try Puppy Linux next.
