first Linux systems for flat panel launch

For those who have tired of the Nexus 7 tablet Android users, this may be a little Christmas Gifts —— A group of developers just released their first Linux distribution, Plasma Active, developed for tablets. Installing this Linux will completely erase the entire Android OS on Nexus 7, and will lose the original warranty. However, senior Android players may be able to find a dual boot method.

In short, to install Plasma Active, you must first unlock the Boot-loader, then press and hold the volume down button to start the tablet into maintenance mode. Then you can use the USB cable to scan the installation files on the PC to the tablet. In the end, you can start this Linux by executing some command line instructions. Although the first version of Plasma Active will obviously have a lot of problems, it gives Nexus 7 users a chance to try to use the Linux KDE interface on the tablet. The goal of the Plasma Active project team is to support more tablets in the future, and even in the future there will be tablets with pre-installed Plasma Active. For those who don't have Nexus 7, there are many other ways to try this operating system on the project website.
