Are these good candidates for pure Linux devices?
- stonogo 3y agoNo, for the same reason Microsoft won't support them: there was no QA in the design phase, so the hardware is poorly documented and relies on OEM-provided blobs from the SOC vendor, which cannot be redistributed and will not be upstreamed into the kernel, so as the kernel develops, these blobs will be left behind, since they're only compatible with the specific kernels targeted in android releases. I could turn out to be wrong here, because once in a while the stars align and these problems are overcome, but it's rare.
