This is my attempt to gather all the information in one place on how to support the Chuwi Hi10 Pro tablet on Linux.
The configuration will be around my distribution (Arch Linux), but I hope that all the instructions here can be easily adapted to other distributions. Be aware that Arch Linux it's a rolling realese distribution, so all software used will be pretty recent.
A more detailed review can be seen at NotebookCheck.
