Arch Linux ARM on PineTab 1
#3
I loaded the full image. Worked well enough, with some notes:

1) The notes said audio doesn't work. It does work. You need to load alsa-utils via pacman and run alsa-mixer. Select the sound card (not default, the other one) and then go unmute/turn up a bunch of different things. Not sure which ones did it. Line Out is the main volume. AIF1 DAC makes it distorted if you go past the green/white area. Same for DAC. DAC Mixer AIF1 must be unmuted.

2) Could not get out of portrait mode until I realized it was locked. Worked after that.

3) No BlueTooth

4) GUI Update didn't seem to want to work, but Pacman did fine

5) Fonts are terrible

6) Volume control doesn't work.

7) Keyboard LEDs DO work (at least caps lock)

8) Trackpad works!

Much more of a "true" Linux experience so highly suggest this if you don't like the Ubuntu Touch stuff.

Edit: Oh yeah, no cameras, I think.
