Hey...
Anyone tried installing LinuxLite to an Android tablet? I have a LG G Pad 8 and want to install LinuxLite to it.
I know I have to root the device first and then find a rom. I've never done this before and it's hard to trust
most guys online as they get their jollys helping people screw up their devices. Anyone here have any real
info on this? It would be Very much appreciated!!

I would suggest searching tablet from the main forum page.. There are several posts in regard to your question. I have attempted (minimally) to dual boot my Windows tablet..
Not certain if anyone has installed LL to an Android tablet and if so which make/model, CPU(hardware), rooted vs non-rooted etc etc..
You may want to google your tablet version along with Ubuntu scouting for successes noting process and trials... More so if wanting LL3.x series google Ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04 for the 2.x series..
Probably not the specific answer your looking for.... :-\
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express -- Shelved
BACK LL5.8 64 bit Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz - 4GB-SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA - Print Server
Running Linux Lite since LL2.2

If wanting to play with Linux on it instead of Android <which is linux, just different>
Better read up a little on cpu architecture. Because all cpu kernels are not the same.

Raspbian Jessie PIXEL, is for Arm, unsure if its suitable, for your tablet.
