tablets?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Any sign of Fedora on a tablet?

I had once seen a YouTube video of someone running Fedora using the 
GNome interface, but that was a while ago, I don't know if anyone's 
tried getting it on there recently.

Yes, but it depends on what you're going for. For example, I toyed around with 
Fedora on a Bay Trail tablet a few years ago, and it was fine after a few 
patches. Not my cup of tea, so I did get rid of it though.

I've been working on Linux/Fedora Bay- and Cherry-Trail based
hardware support for the last year or so.

The current state of this is pretty good. If you are interested
in Fedora on a tablet I would advice you to buy a Cherry Trail based
tablet. If you buy a model for which I've not done the hardwar-enabling
yet, you may need to do some (simple-ish) work to help me enable
the touchscreen, accelerometer and to get audio to work 100%.

This may require some device(model) specific firmware files from the Windows
installation, so it is best to start with running from a liveusb and if then
either wifi or the touchscreen don't work, drop me an email an I
can walk you through getting the necessary files from the Windows
install before you wipe it.

Alternatively you can find a device which you like and send me
a link to a webpage describing it, then I can probably tell you before
hand how much work it is going to need, if any at all.

Regards,

Hans

Not really a tablet, but I run Fedora 29 silverblue on a Lenovo Yoga and
the touchscreen is working very well. I run Xwayland with gnome desktop

Additionally, my daily driver is a Lenovo X200 Tablet. It's a really nice 
machine in my opinion, perhaps you'd like it as well.
