![]() Now, a very important fact to consider, is that I don't want to install Linux in android, like it's commonly shown or answered in most questions I've seen here, because I don't want the user to use anything but the GUI, I want to totally replace the OS. Because of that, I was thinking that maybe, a tablet could be used, at least as a prototype, due to it being easier and cheaper to buy here, by erasing it's original Android OS and replacing it with a Linux based OS, most likely Ubuntu (that's what Raspberry Pi Os is based on, if I didn't get that wrong). Now, the problem: I'm in Argentina, where a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W costs 360 USD (instead of the 15 USD that's the device's original price) due to importation taxes, taxes applied when using a foreing currency, 50% annual inflation, etc. That means your particular tablet model may not have a Linux distribution out there that supports it. With so many different tablet processors and architecture, it’s tough for Linux to support them all. The cool thing about that configuration, is that it can be set so the GUI starts when the device is turned on, so the user can't access any other app that isn't the GUI. As I said, there are a few things you need to know before you try to install Linux on your tablet. For what I've researched so far, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is more than enough to handle the problem, and I've seen many GUIs developed using the Zero+touchscreen by taking advantage of the Raspberry OS included in the Zero. You may want to begin installing Linux apps, which is done through the Linux terminal. You now have a fully-functioning Linux desktop OS on your Android phone. I'm developing a simple GUI for a stationary bicycle that shows speed & time, and has buttons to change routine, increase/decrease resistance, etc. Launch VNC and set the address to localhost:5900 and enter your password. ![]() First, let me give you a little background about why I'm asking this:
