About this deal

The speakers on this device are alright and are not something you would replace a set of speakers in your home for but it gets the job done. I was able to listen to some music without going nuts over the sound for an hour or two while testing YouTube, Netflix and so forth.

The powerful and versatile Linx 1020 gives you everything you need to work and play the way you want to. Featuring a 64-Bit Quad-Core Intel processor, dual-band Wi-Fi for better connectivity and all the great features of Windows 10, all of your favourite apps, games, and videos are always with you, ready when you want them.After around a second, the tablet will display its boot manager screen. Touch is supported at this point. So here we are my review of the Linx 1010. I will be doing my review in a couple of sections and naturally, your usage may vary. I am going to add that I am not doing any stress tests or benchmarks – you can find them all over the World Wide Web. My review is based on the day-to-day usage I would have with it. Do you have an old Linx 1010B tablet sat around doing nothing? These tablets were cheap, underpowered and are now very much showing their age; in particular they no longer receive Windows updates. If you’d like to give yours a new lease of life, consider installing Linux on it. This guide will show you how. That seemed to provide power to the devices but not the tablet, so I fully charged the tablet & crossed my fingers

I have also tried Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE on the tablet. These are generally less demanding and therefore faster and more responsive than GNOME or KDE. However, they also don’t fully cater for tablets in the way that the bigger desktop environments. For example, when I last tested them, none of the three support automatic rotation of the screen based on the accelerometer, or automatic rotation of touch inputs. That means you’ll have to set your screen rotation to landscape manually if you want to use it in that orientation, and if you want to use the touchscreen in landscape orientation, you’ll need to rotate it using the command-line scripts shown here. It’s worth saying that during my test there was a part where I lost connection to the Internet but I believe this is more related to BT Openzone that I was using during these tests.These versions do not install alongside Windows properly or set up GRUB properly with the system’s 32-bit UEFI. Follow this procedure to get them installed: While using the (pre-existing) EFI system partition as your /boot partition is considered a valid choice on many machines, don’t do that on this tablet. It’s only 100 MB and will fill up before your bootloader is properly installed and configured. And since it’s at the start of the disk, it can’t be enlarged unless you completely throw away your Windows volume. These are more recent releases of Ubuntu than the recommended version, 20.04.3. However, they seem to have a regression in terms of their support for Bay Trail tablets in the installer, and they does not correctly set up 32-bit EFI and grub. If you install from an Ubuntu 20.10, 21.04 or 21.10 image or even the updated .4 release of the 20.04 LTS, you will likely find that you will boot to a grub rescue prompt and can’t get into your new installation. The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation?

Next, we had Crusader Kings II. At low speeds, the game wasn’t that bad but it ran a lot better on my Surface Pro. I was able to play one of my save files from the cloud saves where I formed Israel, made a custom empire called The Hebrew Empire and went around declaring wars on every Muslim nation next to me. Apart from a small amount of give in the chassis on the left-hand side where all the ports are situated, the Linx 10 feels solid and doesn't give off the vibe of a budget tablet. Since these tablets only have 2GB RAM enabling zswap is probably a good idea. Just add “zswap.enabled=1” to “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT”, update-grub and reboot You’ll also be asked which disk/partition to install GRUB too — just leave this as the default as it won’t work anyway. We’ll fix that later.I was able to watch things on Netflix without any problem (then again my phone has no problem doing this), was able to watch things on YouTube without a single problem and watched a few people endlessly wiping on Deltascape 3.0 Savage on Final Fantasy XIV via Twitch.
