Hi wow back after 20+ years, could you please redirect me to.....?

Hi I have chinese tablet without BIOS and partioning nothing like that. I’m looking how to find out my system info and hardware compatible for my Chinese tablet.
I know it have 1TB drive and use USB type C about 12GB ram but I don’t know motherboard,cpu…

I really appreciate you can me redirect me. :wink: :slight_smile:

Thank you have great day

What I like to do install Termux… install fresh Fedora Silverblue, I use Fedora workstation it was not working for me.

Thank you for replying :wink: :handshake:

I don’t know it is blank all the pictures are in .jpg, I’ll be back next day

A tablet is most likely an arm processor (32 or 64 bit)
It probably has a model and brand marked on it which can often be used to find out the manufacturer specs for it with a quick online search.

my project will be install Fedora Silverblue on this table with Termux with Andronix on it.
Thank you really appreciate :wink: :slight_smile:

It is not marked neither brand and I open up to see if is marked on the motherboard nothing only a chinese made tablet. I fund 4 or 5 working apps does work on this tablet to look for system info. it works

It’s there…

Well the software I installed printed on the screen I read all the info what is imported Like Kernel Architecture: armv7l what does it tell me and I know cpu, cpu temprature all of them is not so importent to install Fedora Silverblue on my tablet.
Importend is Ram,Drive storage and AMD.
I like to download TERMUX and I read dowload page Termux 86, Termux AMD… so I like to know and I know your guys are awesome.
I`m using Fedora Silverblue message you on my external ssd and works 90% a little issue.
This issue I will bring up in the future otherwise I love Silverblue.
Bis bald dann :slight_smile: :handshake:

What was not working? Did you try to install Fedora using Andronix?

I imagine you want to get some kind of desktop Linux experience on your tablet, so as an alternative to Andronix, I would suggest trying this guide.

I have not read the topic in detail, but is it possible that you use an image for x86_64 (“AMD64”) architecture while you need an ARM architecture image? (with image, I mean the .iso file you downloaded)

If so, the Silverblue image for ARM is the one at “For ARM® aarch64 systems” on the download page → this one: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/41/Silverblue/aarch64/iso/Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-aarch64-41-1.4.iso (you might want to verify the image; more details on the download page)

However, if what I assumed above is the case, then keep in mind that most users have x86_64 (AMD64) and when it comes to ARM-specific issues, help might be limited → I am not sure how well Fedora (auto-)installs and works on ARM as of today - maybe someone can add some experiences?

I think OP is trying to install in Termux (ie in a container). Getting fedora to run in any usable way on bare metal on that Android tablet is probably more or less impossible.

Thank you Jasper your point to this guide and your ( Q. What was not working? Did you try to install Fedora using Andronix?) not yet.
I like get all the answers first before I wasting my time. I know Im going to try out. I have my Termux & Andronix waiting in my download folder. I know my hardware is on ARM but I could find anywhere if is ARM32/64 special with 3rd. party software like CPU-Z...... it dont tell me anything.
Architecture: 6x ARM this tells me it is the ARM enviroment.

Yes, you are on ARM, but the exact hardware specifications do not really matter because you are using Termux, which runs inside Android.

The specifications only matter if you are installing Fedora directly onto the hardware instead of Android (and that is probably impossible on your tablet, unfortunately).

So I would suggest trying the guide I mentioned before, using VNC. It can be quite tricky, so feel free to ask more questions.

Hi I have already issue with Termux it can not bootstrap and this subject will be in a new chapter otherwise.
Yes I am using first Fedora in 2000 so I came back and they came long way. Fedora is my main OS,I use Opensuse and original Amiga computer.
Fedora Silverblue is the way to go and I will stick on it,it is perfect for me. But if is not working out but the nice Silverblue on my tablet I am going to use a different Linux.
I`ll be going for sometime but i am leave it open and you and others know how it is going with the Silverblue if is working or not.There is few ways I can install Silverblue on my tablet if this not working then nothing will work because hardware compatible with software.
I thank everyone trying to help me see yeah sooon.
I will be back.

:wink: :slight_smile: :handshake:

Did you install Termux from Google Play?

You can’t run Silverblue in Termux, it wouldn’t really make sense. And I’m pretty sure you won’t get Silverblue or any other Linux distro to install on the bare metal directly.

do not use termux from google play i think it is removed there already it is outdated f-droid or something else or straight git APK

yeah, iirc google doesnt allow them to update or remove it for some weird reason

I did so many thinks today I can not rember where I got from, I am going to start again to download Termux,Andronix and VNC.
I do not get Termux,Andronix and VNC from google play store, I am trying to get from F-Droid and from APKPure store or from Githup.
Okay I am going this road down to install Termux,Andronix and VNC what ever it takes.
So I will uninstall the Termux first it give me an error Termux it can not bootstrap this Termux I will uninstall it.

Let see if I can not I will use NETWORK it should work, but I may need something that android
recognize to install ISO file. This may continue in this chapter or I am going to open new question chapter. I am going and hunting for Termux,Andronix and VNC software to download on my tablet, when I am ready I let your guys know.
See yeah :slight_smile: :handshake:
