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?

    Not many though, a few Samsung and then the pixel tablet as far as I know and they’re still a bit more than $150 even used usually

      I just ordered a tab a7 lite for myself for some casual use and I read in advance it could be owned with a variety of things to the best of my understanding. I’m hoping it won’t be too much trouble.

      Lenovo Pad if you order the unlocked versions from Aliexpress. Search for Xiaoxin Pad, anyone offering a global ROM version has unlocked the bootloader.

          I installed a GSI fork of LineageOS. Not sure if there are any device-specific ROMs for it, haven’t checked in a while.
