        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.

            Is currently using an Op5t
            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.
