Isn’t great since the camera that was used got ruined by cheap MagSafe, but I’ll probably retake some of the photos. Worth staying up way late for.

    What tablet is that? and how easy was it to get postmarketos on it/ how is the functionality? I use postmarket for my pinephone and i think it’s by far the best mobile distro (excluding anything android) but i wonder what it’s like on other devices.

      So it took me way too long to figure it out, and I had the tablet lying around. The tablet is a SM-T550, make sure to install Heimdall’s GUI and get the certain file, and then the instructions are really straight forward. Sorry if the instructions aren’t super clear, I did do it a while ago and I remember lk2nd was a pain to install. The wiki stuff: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_A_9.7_2015_(samsung-gt510) Edit: realized you asked about functionality. Stock home buttons don’t work on any of the DEs I’ve tried, the screen sometimes has a little freakout so don’t use it if you’re epileptic, the battery percentage sometimes works, and it’s slow (depending on your tasks) but usable. It can play a YouTube video in 480p without too many issues. It is a good option if you have only $50 and want to run PMOS on a tablet.
