Hello ocUK-ers,

I have an Archos Cesium 90 which is a tablet with Baytrail CPU (z3735f) with 32-bit UEFI (with Secure Boot disabled).

I have tried to install many distros (Fedora, Debian weekly multi-arch, Linuxium w/isorespin.sh, etc) but not had any luck. This tablet is seemingly not very common and may have driver support issues. It came with Windows 10 but when I finally got a Debian installer to work I thought I'd overcome the issue and overwrote the windows partition.

Can anyone advise a distro and/or setup that will work? Any specific grub.cfg edits that will help, I had read modifying resolution and such has worked for others with same CPU but no luck for me thus far. It boots some installers but not to desktop, I suppose I could use as headless server or something but I would like to get a Desktop environment working. (If relevant I have currently busted the weak connection on the mini-HDMI slot so unable to display on external monitor)

Thank you
