karlunity Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I run fedora 19, been using Fedora since Fedora 1.In many ways better than Windows.I was thinking of getting a tablet, but the question is:Can I re-format the HD of the tablet to run fedora?Some places on the net say "yes" not a problem.Some say "No" won't fly and you will kill that tablet.Any ideas?karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nutty Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 You are awesome! I've been running every version of Fedora since Fedora Core 1 too. Fedora 19 has been fairly solid for me. I actually started with Redhat 4.2 long before Fedora. What desktop (window manager) do you run? Technically, if it runs an Intel/AMD compatible, it should work fine. The UEFI boot setup on newer machines has me a little nervous though. I've read reports that trying to install Linux on some UEFI-based machines is futile; not all manufacturers care about what consumers actually want to use. Do a web search for your model and see if anyone has tried Fedora on it. If it's a popular model, then you may just have some luck. To make things easier for yourself, have you looked at Android tablets? Android runs the Linux kernel, and for a tablet interface, it's probably better suited for data input. The ARM processors in Android tablets are phenomenal for battery life. Oh, and they do have a Fedora cut that runs on Android tablets for the adventurous...
