      Hello everyone,

      I'm seeking assistance with installing Ubuntu on my Lenovo Tab M8 (TB-8505F). Here are the details of my device:

      • Model: Lenovo Tab M8 (TB-8505F)
      • Current OS: Android 13 (Stock was Android 10)
      • RAM: 2GB
      • Storage: 32GB

      I've done some research but haven't found a clear guide or process for installing Ubuntu on this specific tablet model. I'd appreciate any guidance or resources that could help me with this installation. Specifically, I'm looking for:

      1. Bootloader Unlocking: Steps to unlock the bootloader on the Lenovo Tab M8.
      2. Custom Recovery: Recommendations for a compatible custom recovery (like TWRP) and how to install it.
      3. Ubuntu Installation: A detailed guide on how to install Ubuntu on this tablet, including any necessary files and configurations.
      4. Driver/Compatibility Issues: Information on potential driver or hardware compatibility issues and how to resolve them.

      Any help, whether it's a full guide or links to resources, would be greatly appreciated. If you've successfully installed Ubuntu on this or a similar device, I'd love to hear about your experience and any tips you have.

      Thank you in advance for your support!

        @socialbox There is no port for this device on this installer. I cannot find a port for this device.

        Unless you have the skills to create and install a port for this device which takes a lot of time and effort and requires maintaining, I am afraid you are out of luck.

        Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
        I have too many devices...

          @socialbox As far as I know, that is not a supported device, which means it can't currently be installed. Are you planning to port it?

          Also this section is for new developers, so I will move your post into the Lenovo section.

          Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.
