This $149 RISC-V Tablet Runs Ubuntu 24.04 - OMG! Ubuntu

DeepComputing has unveiled a new version of its DC-ROMA RISC-V tablet — and this one runs Ubuntu! The DC-ROMA RISC-V Pad II boasts a 10.1

The link makes it seem like crap hardware, and sure 4gb of ram is really crappy. But how does this compare with one of my kid’s Fire tablets? Does anyone have opinions on that?

    my $100 Walmart tablet lasts all week with light usage, I doubt this could compare

    probably not in a first release, but Android is convulted piece of shit compared to linux desktop environments. Not to mention Google’s and/or OEMs built-in system apps running 24/7 guzzling all your data in the background.

    In time, I guess it would beat out in performance and efficiency but lose in the availability of applications, same as desktop linux.

      Almost certainly, and get security updates something I’d very much want if I let the tablet off the local network. I would love to see this thing get to that point to ditch android entirely.
