I've also previously recommended Rufus for use with Fedora images, due to issues with Fedora Media Writer. As of December 2022 (Fedora Workstation 37), Fedora Media Writer seems to have improved in reliability, so I now recommend it as it's easier to use than Rufus. The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation? When the GUI appears, press once on the workspace, then press the “Install to Hard Drive” button. The initial window will disappear, but just wait—the installer will appear after a minute or so. Installing Fedora
After copying files and configuring the system, the installer will show an error message because it failed to install GRUB. This is OK — installing GRUB is the last step, so the rest of the install has worked fine. Web browsing is pretty much the bread and butter of this device and not surprisingly this tablet does the job fine. You can easily browse the World Wide Web with Google Chrome and keep quite a lot of tabs open without seeing anything noticeable. With a full-size USB port, the Linx 10V32 lets you connect all your external devices wihtout the need for additional hubs or cables. Whether you need files from your external HDD, prefer to use a mouse when working, or just want to plug in your Windows Xbox controller for a better gaming experience, the Linx 10V32 lets you work and play the way you want to. Once installation is complete, your tablet will prompt you to reboot. It should now start up automatically into the new Ubuntu installation.
Linx 10 - Technical Overview
Next, we had Crusader Kings II. At low speeds, the game wasn’t that bad but it ran a lot better on my Surface Pro. I was able to play one of my save files from the cloud saves where I formed Israel, made a custom empire called The Hebrew Empire and went around declaring wars on every Muslim nation next to me. There now seems to be a solution for the sound issue, highlighted above. It is in the link that describes the problem. There’s no such thing as a “hidden” folder in Linux really, apart from the convention of hiding filenames beginning with .. The problem might be that you’re looking in /dev/mmcblk1p2 instead of /dev/mmcblk1p1 while you’re investigating? If GNOME feels sluggish, it can be slightly improved by turning off animations. This is possible using the “GNOME Tweaks” tool that you can install from the “Software” app.
From that base, Windows should update itself to 20H2 and all the hardware, drivers etc. will continue to work. However, it won’t update any further by itself. From Microsoft Image pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.installation.BootloaderInstallationError: Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug. This is likely just the Linx WiFi not liking my particular AP, but I had to turn WiFi off and on again to get a connection. (I often have to do that in my normal Mint too, and usually only with my home AP. If I use an ESP-01 or my phone as an AP, it hooks up immediately.) I have also tried Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE on the tablet. These are generally less demanding and therefore faster and more responsive than GNOME or KDE. However, they also don’t fully cater for tablets in the way that the bigger desktop environments. For example, when I last tested them, none of the three support automatic rotation of the screen based on the accelerometer, or automatic rotation of touch inputs. That means you’ll have to set your screen rotation to landscape manually if you want to use it in that orientation, and if you want to use the touchscreen in landscape orientation, you’ll need to rotate it using the command-line scripts shown here. If you are going to use this tablet at home in a semi-fixed location it might be worth getting a set of Bluetooth speakers.EFI is a complicated beast and I’m not super knowledgeable about it myself! Part of it is baked into the board firmware in the same way as BIOS, but an EFI partition is also required on disk, along with GPT replacing the older disk MBR. (Most EFI enabled firmware is still able to boot from MBR disks, never tried it on the Linx tablet though.) The firmware comes from the device manufacturer, while partitions on disk generally come from an operating system you have installed - though third party EFI boot loaders like rEFInd are available (I use rEFInd to switch between Windows and Linux on my desktop PC). There’s no touch support at this stage. If you have a keyboard, press Up to select the top option, and Enter to run it immediately. If not, you’ll have to wait 60 seconds for the menu, then several more minutes while the OS image is tested. After that, the Fedora live environment will boot. There may be some text on screen during this time, don’t panic! The startup takes a couple of minutes but it will get there eventually. Whether you dual-boot with Windows or wipe out Windows completely and just use Linux is up to you. Linux is now suitable for daily use on this tablet, so I’ve wiped off Windows completely. If you’re not sure, you can dual-boot for a while—but note that if you have two operating systems on the tablet, both operating systems will be very limited in the amount of space available to them.
The last game I tried was naturally Final Fantasy XIV which did work at quite a low frame rate (around 20-30fps). I was able to do this by turning down every single setting, lowering the number of objects I could see at once and setting the resolution down to VGA (640×480). I did not try any dungeons or raids as I could not connect my Xbox One Wifi Adaptor due to using the other USB port for the flash drive (and Bluetooth never worked on this controller although the device did see it).I was able to watch things on Netflix without any problem (then again my phone has no problem doing this), was able to watch things on YouTube without a single problem and watched a few people endlessly wiping on Deltascape 3.0 Savage on Final Fantasy XIV via Twitch. If you aren’t using GNOME or KDE, it’s a good idea to run “Onboard” (an on-screen keyboard) and configure it to your liking. (You may also prefer it to the GNOME on-screen keyboard anyway!) The following settings make it behave a lot like the Windows keyboard: Press “Boot Manager” and you’ll see your USB device in the list. Press it to continue. (If you don’t see it, your tablet may have Secure Boot enabled. Play around in the setup menu until you find the option to disable Secure Boot, then press F10 on the keyboard to save, and repeat this step.) Do you have an old Linx 1010B tablet sat around doing nothing? These tablets were cheap, underpowered and are now very much showing their age; in particular they no longer receive Windows updates. If you’d like to give yours a new lease of life, consider installing Linux on it. This guide will show you how.
