How well does Ubuntu work on a tablet?
gnome is the only desktop i could get to run properly with mine. installing it was a pain since i had to use an unofficial version of ubuntu that would work with a 32-bit uefi. sometimes sound won't work at all and none of the buttons on the tablet actually work except for the power button when held down. so all in all it's pretty fiddly but i don't care considering how dirt cheap the tablet was. if you get a linx tablet, i recommend keeping it on windows.

I was thinking that. Linux doesn't seem to like touchscreens in the littlest, and seems Ubuntu's recently retired Unity interface is the only one.
Which reminds me. Are you running the latest Ubuntu with Gnome or are you running the most recent version, which still had Unity? I don't know if you're aware that Ubuntu switched to Unity and is now switching back to Gnome.

i know ubuntu retired unity recently, i did try regular ubuntu 16.04 with unity (hated it) and ended up screwing the os when trying to manually switch to gnome. I downloaded the gnome flavor of ubuntu (linuxium build) and that worked fine, although I recently killed the tablet by accidentally discharging the battery completely, it didn't turn itself off when the battery was low.

You enjoying it?
Very. Compared to Windows 10 it is very resource light I have seen, very smooth, and it does basically everything I would want an OS to do. I'll just have to get used to eopkg. I was typing apt-get and wondering why it wasn't working for like 5 minutes. I really like this and when I get everything worked out and installed I might just format W10 and give me some extra HD space.

I actually almost never use the terminal for Solus. The software center is actually really good, it's simple, clean, other Kingdom Hearts references.
On topic, I got Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, so my background has to reflect that.

Nice Terry picture tbh.
Anyway, you could set an alias for eopkg, and IIRC it supports apt syntax, so it should be really easy to do.
