Care to provide examples to support your position?

Linux on a tablet is very much an interest of mine. I've purchased an
RCA Cambio with the goal of converting it to Linux:

https://github.com/devinsmith/rca-cambio-linux/blob/master/README.md

But I haven't had the round-tuit to get that off the ground. Something
that just works would be a great start (even if it's Raspberry based).
