Is there any tablet or touch device with completed Gnome support?
I hear the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and 3 work decently well, but it's always a bit hit-and-miss.
Where do you guys test touch things anyway? Because Gnome supports it but there is no real hardware to try it out.
What's the difference in hardware between v975i (Android) and v975w (Windows)? Is it possible to install Linux on v975i?
Vasily: The "i" version require a hardware modification to run Windows (and thus Linux). Different firmware as well I believe.
Instructions are hiding somewhere in ondaforum.com.
I'm not even sure it's the same hardware.
Bastien Nocera: Can you please share some laptops providing the best Linux support? Want to try Wayland and Gnome touch stuff.
Wiseacre: I use an old model of Lenovo Carbon X1. Nearly all the full-fledged x86 touchscreen laptops will work fine with Linux. Watch out for compatibility of the wireless card though. The rest should work out of the box.
That looks interesting; how is the battery life of this tablet?
It says about 6 hours playing back video, so I'd get about 8 without wifi or video playback (reading articles for example).
Thanks, six hours for video sounds great.
Did you buy from the same seller you linked?
I'm just asking because I think they are trying to scam me.
Trying to get ubuntu working better on the Pipo W2. it has the same wifi chip in it as the onda v975w. Wanting to get your wifi driver working on the W2 but I don't even know where to start googleing to figure out how to compile it. Can you give me any tips?
GNOME has really grown a lot better than previous. Thanks to you people. I am also a fellow linux worker. I wish to contribute my skills in GNOME. Do ypu know how can I start ??
Ramit: The best way to get started would be to look at bugs in applications you use, and start fixing bugs there. See the GNOME Love Wiki page.
