I bought this device as I viewed it as a great Linux GNOME tablet, but after several days, many hours of work of trying to do so, I must say that installing a distribution here (and then having it work fine) is a huge pain in the ass. @@ -24,7 +26,7 @@ To build this on Fedora Linux: []$ sudo dnf --assumeyes install kiwi kiwi-systemdeps distribution-gpg-keys # Run the image build []$ sudo ./kiwi-build --kiwi-file=Fedora.kiwi --image-type=<image_type> --image-profile=<image_profile> --output-dir ./outdir -# An example for Workstation Live CD ISO +# An example for Workstation Live CD ISO, takes around 16 minutes []$ sudo ./kiwi-build --kiwi-file=Fedora.kiwi --image-type=iso --image-profile=Workstation-Live --output-dir ./outdir ``` @@ -35,7 +37,7 @@ To build this on Fedora Linux: * No secure boot possible for this ISO for now, as the platform used is `efi` and not `uefi`. * No GRUB auto hidden menu.

No deep sleep is available, so `mem_sleep_default=s2idle` was set. Even that leads to compromises as suspending via GNOME results in hard freeze, so the default power button behavior was changed to `interactive` and should not be changed back to `suspend`. ## Image variants |
