Any chances to see something similar to install Linux images (native, no chroots) to old Android tablets over the original OS? Some hardware wouldn't be supported, but I wouldn't mind not having for example video acceleration, audio and/or modem, if I could use an old tablet as a IoT screen or to show graphs from sensor data, etc. Having a full OS, hence the ability to use multiple programming languages, libraries, etc would change everything.

  I'm aware of PostmarketOS, but unfortunately not many tablets are supported; I'm not interested in phones also due to their too small screen.

    They have a nice community, you could try to add support for your tablet!

Some articles about that are on the Debian mobile wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile Using a chroot will always be the easiest way to do this though. https://wiki.debian.org/ChrootOnAndroid https://wiki.debian.org/ChrootOnAndroid
