Was wondering what tablets you run Linux on.

  • What's good?
  • What's not so good?
  • What's worth mentioning?

I currently have a Dell Venua 8 Pro 5855, which is nice, but really old. I like 8", nice form factor.

Issues:

  • camera does not work with Linux (at least not out of the box, never bothered as I don't care)
  • some kernel module always crashes and battery percentage stops working (bit more of an issue)
  • it often wakes up from suspend, so the batters is always empty when I want to use it... or I power and down and will have to boot it

Everything else just works, including LTE.
