| this video was created earlier in january from a stupid idea and was driven by sheer determination | |
| despite lacking programming skill. here's a decent description of how it was made (because i am | |
| too lazy to write a github readme): | |
| 1. the video | |
| i downloaded the pv off youtube and used ffmpeg to resize it down to 70x54 dimensions (for easy | |
| math calculations, i used 27 firefox windows, 7 tabs each, so it divided nicely). i then used | |
| ffmpeg (again) to splice the source video into 15-second segments to reduce desyncing and cpu load. | |
| 2. the frames |
What's the problem with this tablet? Why can't I just insert the USB and mash F12 until it boots? The tablet is made to run Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 only. Some absolute genius at Acer decided to put a 32-bit UEFI on a 64-bit system, which no reasonable Linux distro supports out-of-the-box.
NOTE: This guide focuses on installing Ubuntu alongside Windows. If you're trying to replace Windows, then I assume you know enough about Linux to know which parts to change.
