well, there’s a lot for problems with that..
Mediatek doesn’t really distribute it’s drivers to upstream linux community. They only share their proprietary Board Service Packages made specifically for Android.
even if you manage to pull out these drivers from an Android build, it’d still be impossible to use them in normal Linux, since Android uses a custom kernel and non-standard isms.
primebook 4g/wifi’s SoC (probably) has internal power management ic, audio routing, networking, Bluetooth which Linux can’t handle since Mediatek drivers are closed source.
then there’s the gpu, mali gpus are also closed so yeah expect no display, yes there’s some reverse engineering projects like Panfrost and PanVK, but they are no where close to the performance of these gpus on Android
I could go on and on about these constraints, but eh, after these many it’s pointless
on the other hand there’s Android which is highly optimised to run on low end devices, hell I’m running Android 10 on a helio g25 with 2gb ram, it pretty usable. Android updates are like discontinued by Google after a few years but software support still remains amazing, so there’s not much need for OS updates so often. Even though Android is so optimised, moving from Android 11 to Android 16 on the same hardware is uh borderline impossible considering the specs.
thats that, then there’s the new Primebook 3 Max, the processor
powering that machine officially supports running Android as well as ubuntu.
well, finally, Primebook has its own OS, PrimeOS, that the developer s have been focusing on exclusively, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to provide an option to run Linux too, it won’t be as user friendly, most Linux are not beginner friendly, and those that are, need atleast 256 to 512gb of storage to run decently.. and Primebook 4g/wifi has barely a fraction of that.
Linux apps run pretty easily on Android, there’s termux using that you can run Linux apps at native speeds, if the Linux app you want is not available on termux, you just make a proot-distro inside termux which is still pretty dang lightweight, and if you need to run basic windows apps, just set up wine or winlator. Meanwhile running Android apps on Linux or windows? nahh atleast an i5 h series processor with 16-32gb ram so you can decently run whatever you want.
so yeah, hope this answers your question
