Thanks brad for the Manjaro Architect-tipp. But like Manjaro itself it did not even boot. I think the problem could be related to grub going into graphical-mode and maybe i could solve it by altering grub-config in the iso….

But like I said: My last option is to sell the tablet so for privacy-reasons it is important for me to “dd” the emmc out before selling, so as of now I used the current arch-install-iso and was able to get wireless working using iw/wpa_supplicant (kernel 4.12) so currently I’m about to install Arch to the emmc but had to pause for an video-evening with my wife 😉

When Arch is up and running, I’ll be trying out the other parts of my problem-list, maybe waiting for 4.13 getting into stable-repos or installing it from testing if there are still problems but for now I’m happy that I could use the wifi-chip.

Are there any recommendations for buying a Atom-based tablet for running Linux and Android (Dualboot) on it? Wireless, bluetooth, touchscreen should work out of the box or at least with an up-to-date stock-kernel. Screen-size should be 10 – 13 inch. No need for an stylus and on keyboard i prefer bluetooth keyboards with german layout 😉

Sad to hear, so maybe my Option is to sell the tablet on ebay and get another one ;(

So my plans for the next weekend:

• Install Arch-Linux with newest Kernel to an USB-Stick
• last try to get wireless, sound and maybe touch working in an not-live-environment using information found on the net
• if not succeeded: doing dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda (or similar) on windows-installation
• reinstall fresh windows
• make ebay-offer 😉
