It works alright out of the box. Without the changes, Bluetooth and Wifi work. Suspend sometimes works, cameras don't.

I bought this device on eBay without doing research for 37,50 EUR for fun and late at night, for that it's quite alright – but I suggest you to do some more research beforehand. This device throttles for thermal reasons under load.

What's most annoying in practice is that it has a tinier-than-usual sqare Lenovo power connector. While I am not always super happy with USB-C, the fact that crap like that is rarely found in modern devices, shows that USB-C has quite some upsides.

@linmob ooh nice! How's the hardware support, especially sleep/suspend and things like WiFi, Bluetooth, camera?

@fedops Wifi, Bluetooth work, suspend is not perfect (sometimes it just doesn't wake up), cameras don't work – on Fedora Silverblue 35 without any tweaks.

@linmob thank you! I guess that's not too big an issue if the boot times are reasonable.

@linmob Was ist das für ein Tablet und läuft das Linux native? Also mit richtigem aktuellen Kernel?

@bjawebos Siehe Foto ;-) Der Container-Kram liegt nur an Silverblue-Eigenheiten, ich wollte nicht rebooten, um Neofetch zu zeigen. Kernel 5.15.10 momentan. Mehr zum Gerät verrät das Review: notebookcheck.com/Test-Lenovo- .. Ist nicht die optimale Hardware, war auch mehr ein Spaßgebot bei eBay - aber dafür bin ich ganz zufrieden.

@linmob danke ... So ein Linux Tablet wäre auch noch was für mich.

@linmob Hows the battery and does the pen work? i would abuse this thing for taling nates and scetching

@Domant3lis The battery is aging. I didn't time it, but I think I managed to get something around 4,5 hours on mine, YMMV. The Pen works!
