• Get rid of JingOS?

  I have this old Acer One 10 tablet/laptop, used to have windows 8 on it and for some reason has JingOS on it. This here. And I can't for the love of it install any other OS on this thing. Like it doesn't boot from a stick or microSD card no matter what OS I put on the stick or card. Source: about 2 years ago

• Linux on Mobile, Where to start?

  Check out JingOS, if the device you’re looking to work on is supported. It’s a pure Linux OS that is designed to be touch first, but also pulls a lot of design cues from Apple. https://en.jingos.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• is there somewhat stable os for a celeron 2 in 1?

  You can use JingOS. It has good support for touchscreen but it is not super stable yet. But for regular usage, I think it's okay. You can also Gnome based OS. The recent Gnome 40 has good touchscreen support. For Gnome 40, you can try Fedora or Ubuntu 20.10. Source: over 2 years ago

  Nobody else (that I saw) mentioned it, but PostmarketOS [0] has a decent number of (community) supported devices, is Free and more than a de-Googled Android distro - it's actually based on Alpine Linux.
