So a true, fully-fledged Linux tablet running mainline Linux kernel, a proper Linux distro, and shipping with kinds of apps we all use has been sorely missing.Īs such, expectations for the PineTab are amplified - no sweat Pine 64! PineTab Specs To quote one reader of the day the M10 was: “functionally unusable”. The M10’s mid-range hardware and not-exactly-Ubuntu OS was a pairing destined to disappoint. While the BQ Aquarius M10 Ubuntu Edition released in 2016 ran a version of Ubuntu it was not the same version as the desktop version and relied heavily on Android drivers. The PineTab will, like the PinePhone, be something of a first: the first real Linux tablet released to the masses. ![]() Pune64 is a particularly prolific hardware company already known to Linux enthusiasts thanks to its range of cheap and cheerful 64-bit ARM single-board computers (boards which are also used in the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro laptops). Pine64 will release a 10-inch Linux tablet later this year priced at low $99 (it had early been promised at just $79). I dream of owning a well-spec’d tablet that runs a proper Linux distro like Ubuntu - and that dream is now a step closer to reality. ![]()
