I haven’t had a great time with Linux on a tablet without a keyboard and mouse but PostmarketOS is 100% usable IMO. Even the on screen keyboard on the login screen works.

x86, ARM, are intended to be multipurpose, right? So why tf does the OS running on it need multiple layers of abstraction and have the right drivers to support common features? Wouldn’t it be possible to standardize the interfaces for audio, hw video acceleration, etc. so that you just need one audio driver for all x86 CPUs, another for ARM and be done?
I’m wondering about that too and I think that this question deserves another thread. Maybe that’s because, as there are no (or are there?) PCs with other architectures than x86, vendors don’t see a need for standards like device discovery and UEFI.
The CPU might be the same, but the audio chip, trackpad, etc. might be different and require a new driver.
