Linux Tablets: What are Your Options?
======
There are plenty of [Linux-based laptops available][1]. There are also [mini-PCs preloaded with Linux][2].
A few [Linux-based smartphones][3] are also present in the market.
How about tablets? Are there some good Linux-based tablets? The answer is not straightforward.
Many Linux-only system manufacturers focus on creating desktop computers. This is primarily due to the fact that the Linux experience on touch devices is no where close to what Android and iOS provide.
Does this mean you cannot use Linux on a tablet? Not really. There are a few options available for the early adapters and DIY tinkerers. Lets see what options do you have in the name of Linux tablets.
### Ubuntu Touch
![Ubuntu Touch OS on BQ tablets][4]
Alright! This is not a gadget but an operating system. But this does give you option to install a touch-friendly version of Ubuntu on some old Android tablet.
Mind the word some. Officially, Ubuntu Touch [supports][5] on Nexus 7, Lenovo M10, Xperia Z4 and BQ Aquaris tablets. You may even try to install Ubuntu Touch on some other tablet of yours. It may not work 100% but could still be pretty much useable.
Ubuntu Touch was a project by Ubuntu team but they [discontinued it in 2017][6]. [UBports][7] has taken the responsibility of continuing this project and they are doing a good job at it with their limited resources.
All in all, if you have an experimental temperament and want to give another life to your old Android tablet, Ubuntu Touch could be your weekend project.
[Ubuntu Touch][8]
### Pine Tab
![PineTab][9]
Pine64 started with its single board computer Pine A64 as a [Raspberry Pi alternative][10]. It launched several Pine-branded products over the time. This list includes low cast [PineTime smartwatch][11], Pinebook laptop, PinePhone smartphone and PineTab tablet.
These Pine devices are often inexpensive and allow the user full control on the gadget. This tinkering attitude has helped it gathered a huge fan following of open source DIY enthusiasts.
The PineTab basically uses the same component as the Pine64 single board computers with touchscreen and keyboard. Its not the prettiest looking gadget out there but then, it does not intend to be one.
The specifications are basic with an HD IPS capacitive touchscreen, Allwinner A64 chipset, Quad-core CPU and 2 GB RAM.
Its not something that can compete with an iPad or Galaxy Tab but it allows you to install a distribution of your choice and configure it as you want.
Please keep in mind that Pine has limited stock, so consider yourself lucky if you can see this device available for purchase.
[PineTab][12]
### PineNote
![PineNote][13]
Another Pine device that is slightly different from the PineTab you saw in the previous section.
The PineTab is a Linux tablet for browsing internet, using applications and playing games. The PineNote is for taking notes and reading books and documents.
It has a Eink display that you may have seen on e-book readers like Kindle. Apart from letting you experience an e-book reader, PineNote also allows you to take note with a Wacom Pen.
PineNote has Quad-core Rockchip, multi-touch Eink panel, 4 GB RAm and 128 GB eMMC storage. It is also one of the rare few gadgets that has a higher than usual price tag of $399.
Please keep in mind that PineNote is in early developments and is accepting orders only from developers.
[PineNote][14]
### JingPad
![JingPad on my desk][15]
Perhaps one of the rare few projects that aim to provide a consumer level Linux tablet. They have premium, custom hardware on the high end side. It has 11″ 2K AMOLED displaym 8 GB RAM, Unisoc Tiger T7510 Octa Core processor along with magnetic keyboard.
Altogether, things look quite good on the paper, at least from the hardware perspective. Premium hardware comes at premium pricing, of course. The device could cost between $600-$800.
JingPad also has its own Linux based, touch-friendly operating system called JingOS. The operating system is still under heavy development and should be ready by end of first quarter of 2022.
Want to know more about JingPad? Read [my experience with JingPad and JingOS in this detailed review][16].
[JingPad][17]
### RasPad
![RasPad][18]
RasPad is a kit for Raspberry Pi devices to turn it into a functional touch based device. Unlike the regular tabs, this is not a flat device but has a wedge shaped body. This makes it easier to use at desks.
RasPad is created specially for Raspberry Pi devices and you can use most of its ports easily. There is a dedicated RasPad OS but you are free to use the regular Raspbian OS or Ubuntu or any other Raspberry Pi operating system. Do consider touch friendliness while choosing the OS.
Please keep in mind that Raspberry Pi device is NOT included in the kit. Youll have to buy it separately.
[RasPad][19]
### Whats your choice?
I know we are still far from a good alternative Linux tablet that could compete with at least the Android tablets in the market. But at least we have some options available and thats a silver lining.
Do you already own any of the above listed devices? How is your experience with it?
If you had to choose only one of them, which is your choice for the ideal Linux tablet?

有哪些 Linux 平板电脑可供选择
======
![](https://img.linux.net.cn/data/attachment/album/202110/28/172623vkx0p7uuvebi7hx7.jpg)
有很多 [基于 Linux 的笔记本电脑][1],也有 [预装了 Linux 的迷你 PC][2],而市场上还有一些 [基于 Linux 的智能手机][3]。
那平板电脑呢?有没有一些不错的基于 Linux 的平板电脑?这可能不能用一句话说清楚。
许多仅使用 Linux 的系统制造商专注于制造台式电脑。这主要是由于触摸设备上的 Linux 体验与安卓和 iOS 提供的体验相距甚远。
但这是否意味着你不能在平板电脑上使用 Linux并非如此。对于早期尝试用户和 DIY 爱好者来说,还有一些选择的。让我们来看看在这些 Linux 平板电脑中,你有哪些选择。
### Ubuntu Touch
![BQ 平板电脑上的 Ubuntu Touch 操作系统][4]
好吧!这不是一个平板电脑,而是一个操作系统。但它确实让你可以在一些旧的安卓平板电脑上安装一个适合触摸操作的 Ubuntu 版本。
注意“一些”这个词。Ubuntu Touch 官方 [支持][5] Nexus 7、联想 M10、Xperia Z4 和 BQ Aquaris 平板。你甚至可以尝试在你的其他平板电脑上安装 Ubuntu Touch。它可能无法 100% 工作,但仍然非常有用。
[Ubuntu Touch][8] 是 Ubuntu 团队的一个项目,但是他们 [在 2017 年中止了它][6]。[UBports][7] 承担了继续这个项目的责任,他们在有限的资源下做的很棒。
总而言之如果你喜欢各种实验想让你的旧安卓平板电脑获得新生Ubuntu Touch 可能是你的周末项目。
### PineTab
![PineTab][9]
Pine64 始于其单板计算机 Pine A64以作为 [树莓派的替代品][10]。随着时间的推移,它推出了几个 Pine 品牌的产品。这份名单里包括低调的 [PineTime 智能手表][11]、PineBook 笔记本电脑、PinePhone 智能手机和 PineTab 平板电脑。
这些 Pine 设备通常价格低廉,并允许用户对这些小设备进行完全控制。这种可魔改的特性帮助它聚集了一大批开源 DIY 爱好者的粉丝。
[PineTab][12] 基本上使用了与带有触摸屏和键盘的 Pine64 单板计算机相同的组件。它不是看起来最漂亮的平板电脑,也不打算成为这样的。
它的规格很一般,有一个高清 IPS 电容式触摸屏、全志 A64 芯片组、四核 CPU 和 2GB 内存。
它无法与 iPad 或 Galaxy Tab 竞争,但它允许你安装你选择的发行版,并按你的要求进行配置。
请记住Pine 的库存有限,所以如果你能看到这个设备可以购买,那你很幸运。
### PineNote
![PineNote][13]
另一个 Pine 设备,与你在上一节看到的 PineTab 略有不同。
PineTab 是一款用于浏览互联网、使用应用程序和玩游戏的 Linux 平板电脑,而 [PineNote][14] 是用来做笔记和阅读书籍和文件的。
它有一个电子墨水显示屏,你可能在 Kindle 等电子书阅读器上见过。除了电子书阅读器之外PineNote 还可以你用 Wacom 笔做笔记。
PineNote 拥有四核 Rockchip、多点触控电子墨水面板、4GB 内存和 128GB eMMC 存储。它也是为数不多的价格高于通常的 399 美元的平板点之一。
请记住PineNote 正处于早期开发阶段,只接受开发者的订单。
### JingPad
![我桌子上的 JingPad][15]
也许是为数不多的旨在提供“消费级的 Linux 平板电脑”的项目之一。他们拥有高端的优质定制硬件。它有 11 英寸 2K AMOLED 显示屏、8GB 内存、Unisoc Tiger T7510 八核处理器,以及磁性键盘。
总的来说,至少从硬件角度来看,规格看起来相当不错。当然,好东西价格也好。该设备的价格可能在 600-800 美元之间。
[JingPad][17] 也有自己的基于 Linux 的触摸式操作系统,名为 JingOS。该操作系统仍在大力开发中应该在 2022 年第一季度末准备就绪。
想了解更多关于 JingPad 的信息?请阅读 [我对 JingPad 和 JingOS 的详细测评][16]。
### RasPad
![RasPad][18]
[RasPad][19] 是一个用于树莓派设备的套件,可以把它变成一个基于触摸功能的设备。与普通的平板不同,这不是一个扁平的设备,而是有一个楔形的身体。这使得它更容易在办公桌上使用。
RasPad 是专门为树莓派设备创建的,你可以轻松使用它的大部分端口。它有一个专门的 RasPad 操作系统,但你可以自由使用常规的树莓派操作系统或 Ubuntu 或任何其他适合树莓派的操作系统。在选择操作系统时请考虑触控友好性。
请记住,树莓派设备不包括在套件中。你必须要单独购买。
### 你的选择是什么?
我知道我们离一个优秀的 Linux 平板电脑还很远,但它们至少可以和市场上的安卓平板电脑竞争。至少我们有一些可用的选择,这也是一线希望。
你是否已经拥有以上列出的设备之一了?你的体验如何?
如果你只能选择其中之一,那么你选择哪一款 Linux 平板电脑?
