You should be fine with leaving it in the dock when starting setup, the reason i say not to do that is because it can mess with touch

Should do

Yup

There is an on screen keyboard, or you can put in dock but could be various issues with touch
Could you point me in the right direction towards dual booting? Or is it just booting this Linux distro with hakete and then booting regular horizon cfw?

So how to you transfer files?
When I put the SD card into my Pc it just shows a 450MB Medium with the boot file and a boot and bootloader folder in it.

Works wonderfully! Thanks to all the contributors to this!


From the videos I've played (docked), it runs well, amd the picture looks great! You could likely back up your card, flash the image, resize the fat 32 partition to suit your needs, amd leave some space to resize the ext4 partition once you're done with the initial setup. Horizon only looks for the first fat32/exfat partition, afaik.



The touchscreen works fairly well.

Well yeah the touchscreen works fine but many elements are too small to be used with a finger.

couldn't we just make that fat32 partition bigger so it can be used for dualboot maybe?
yes, you can totally do that

you either use an ext4 driver like paragon or ext2fsd or put the files in the fat32 partition

Since it won't let me upload or post URL's. here's the end part of a tiny URL to it
