R.I.P. LinuxDevices… Long live LinuxGizmos!

That would be fine, if I wanted to take the trouble, and if the tablet had enough room and performance for it, and if the tablet hardware was supported....

Truth is, I'm thinking more about the "average user" (which I am, most of the time,) and the fact that these issues exist in Android, which is based on Linux.

Frankly, I have a tablet I would love to install Linux on as the primary OS, but so far I haven't seen any evidence that I can. It's an Idolian TurboTab C8. If I could put Linux on there, I would, since Android doesn't work very well on it.
