How easy it is for a newbie?

Hi !
I would like to use linux on a tablet, so after looking around Im thinking to get the tablet BQ Aquaris M10 HD and install UBports on it. I understand that I will also have to -unlock the bootloader- before.
Is it a good idea, how difficult is it for a newbie? (I have only a little linux experience). And after everything is installed, do I have to expect troubles or is it going to run smoothly?
thanks
A.

@alma The BQ Aquaris M10HD is very old and nigh on impossible to get hold of. If you want a tablet, look at the Lenovo M10 X605F/L.

However I would look at a phone over a tablet as all devices have their quirks and find one with the easiest experience to begin with. The Pixel 3a springs to mind or a Oneplus 5 or 5T.
