I have an unused Windows tablet from 2021 running some Core M processor or other that I want to put Linux on and start using again. It doesn’t have a keyboard so I would have to actually use it as a tablet and not a laptop. Is there a distro built around one of the mobile desktop environments that also runs well on x86? (Last time I tried Linux mobile it was pretty much only for ARM and I never got it to work well on even an x86 virtual machine.) Or is regular GNOME deskrop still my best bet for a tablet?

    I didn’t try that, but I think it is not possible, but since the Android is running on top of Linux, you just connect to your bluetooth headphones using the under Linux and it will have the same result.

      thank you! unfortunately it’s not about headphones but about some proprietary android app that has it’s own protocol to talk with some also proprietary devices via bluetooth, so that probably won’t work. but will try bliss os soon (soon = in the next month, hopefully, haha)!
