Chuwi_Hi10_Air_Linux | install Linux on the Chuwi Hi10 Air

First of all you need to install Linux on the tablet. That means you will erase your internal Windows installation, so make sure to either do a backup of it, or at least make yourself familiar with how to reinstall Windows in case it’s needed. Please note that you can NOT install Linux on an SDCard because the BIOS can not boot from the SDCard.
Next up, it’s time to choose your Linux distro. I recommend anything that is based on Arch Linux and that uses either LightDM or lxdm, because that is what my guide will be using to setup certain features. Of cause you’re free to choosewhatever you want. That means you could for example use Antergos, an ArchLinux based distro that includes Desktop managers (for Antergos I recommend XFCE), or go the hard way and install ArchLinux from scratch and use lxdm with LXQt. LXQt proved to me to be the best lightweight and yet High-DPI friendly Desktop Environment, so that’s what I used. I trust you will be able to find the guides on how to install either with a quick Google search, so I will not go much further into detail here. To get into the boot menu, you need to press F7. After your installation is done most things are already working.
Another Handy feature I found myself in need of was an onscreen keyboard. For that I installed OnBoard, and found a very neat feature here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1232107. You can map a button to open/close the keyboard. I set mine to Super L, which equals the left Windows button and the touch button on the tablet itself. In the LXQt Settings Menu you can configure Shortcut Keys. Create or edit the existing shortcut and either map the following DBus Call. dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.onboard.Onboard /org/onboard/Onboard/Keyboard org.onboard.Onboard.Keyboard.ToggleVisible.
