glad to see I'm not the only one, if you don't mind me asking, what OS did you settle on? I'm using mint w/ auto-cpufreq on a donki nanote next right now but it's not perfect.
I use Artix on everything these days. It used to Alpine (and before that I was just making my own distros because I didn't like the decisions eg Debian was making.)
I've switched to UMPCs because the constant lies and intentional breakage from smartphone vendors drove me up the wall.
