# Trying to run Linux on Samsung Galaxy Book 10.8

Sharing some experiences about running, more precisely trying to run, Linux on a Samsung Galaxy Book 10.8" x86 tablet.

TLDR: Touchscreen is not working. So without attached keyboard, avoid this tablet.

PS: Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 or 10.8 ? dmidecode says 10.6.

## What works

Basic functionality is working (kernel ??) :

* Keyboard
* Touchpad
* Adaptive brightness
* WiFi (kernel 5.17+)

I haven't tested much more than that.

What seems buggy :

* Screen orientation

What is not working :

* Speakers
* Touchscreen
* Webcam

To be tested :

* Bluetooth
* Gyroscope

## Customization of the tablet

The tablet configuration was like this :

Samsung Galaxy Book 10.8
    Intel(R) Core(TM) m3-7Y30 CPU @ 1.00GHz
    4GB RAM
    64GB SSD
    10.8" touchscreen display
    + a cover keyboard

The tablet was delivered to me in the end of April 2019. It was saled on Ebay as used but never opened.

## Trying Linux Live

The computer came with _Windows 10 Home_ installed.

Download **EndeavourOS 2022** and write it on an USB drive.

Here is the steps to boot from the USB drive :

* Boot the computer
* On the boot screen displaying Samsung Galaxy Book Logo press **F10**
* Choose the USB UEFI entry

Boot the usual live session :

* Screen is in portrait mode :
  * open a terminal
  * type "xrandr -o left"

WiFi is working. Touchscreen sometime kind of works, but not usable.

Battery life is good.
