Bq m10 FHD (frieza)
About the Bq m10 FHD with Ubuntu Touch
The tablet to travel with
The Aquaris is a tablet that is both thin and light with a screen of 10''. It works smoothly with a recognizable Ubuntu interface. This tablet provides you a great workflow as a portable laptop. Imagine travelling by plane and working on your documents using LibreOffice.
Note: Bq m10 HD devices that are sold with Android have a locked bootloader, so those need to be manually unlocked by installing the manufacturers Ubuntu image before switching to UBports' release of Ubuntu Touch.
Install Ubuntu Touch on the Bq m10 FHD
Note: Unfortunately the Bq m10 FHD's Bootloader can not be unlocked if the device was sold with Android. That means, that Ubuntu Touch can only be installed on the Bq m10 FHD Ubuntu Edition, not on the Android version!
There is not a lot we can do about that, and luckily most devices do not have that restriction. If you are the proud owner of a Bq m10 FHD Ubuntu Edition, you are not affected by this, and you can simply use the UBports Installer to switch to the UBports version of Ubuntu Touch.
Note: Unfortunately the Bq m10 FHD's Bootloader is locked while the device is running Android. That means that you will have to install the manufacturer's Ubuntu image before you can switch to the latest Ubuntu Touch release using the UBports Installer.
This is just a small annoyance, but it's not difficult and luckily most devices do not have that restriction. Also, if you are the proud owner of a Bq m10 FHD Ubuntu Edition, you are not affected by this, and you can simply use the UBports Installer to switch to the UBports version of Ubuntu Touch.
With the UBports Installer, you can get Ubuntu Touch on your Bq m10 FHD without breaking a sweat. You can use any Linux, Windows, or macOS computer to run the installer. Simply plug in your device and follow the on-screen instructions, then sit back and let the computer do all the work for you.
