Linux Mint 21 on Intel Tablets

Post by Material_Olive_2022 »

I am thinking of purchasing an intel tablet (Core i3 or possibly i5) but would like to know if LM21 would be functional on it particularly with regards to touchscreen capability. Has anyone tried using LM21 on a tablet? How was the experience?

Howdy. This is a bit dated:

I'd say it's very iffy. Not just Mint, in Linux in general (there's not as much difference between distros as many seem to think).

The best way I find for something like this is to take a specific make/model your're looking at and to search "ubunu <Ubuntu version your Mint is based on> <make/model>". Mint's based on Ubuntu (except for LMDE) and their user base and docs resources are both much bigger.
