TCL Nxtpaper 14" as Linux laptop

I've just bought and managed to configure the Nxtpaper 14" as a full laptop replacement.

I really didn't expect it, but hey it's real https://github.com/intxgo/termux-setup

It seems I can't edit my earlier post to add info, but I wanted to say that I've tried a lot of setups,

- with LXQt the cpu stays iddle, with over 1GB free ram (not even used by ram cache)
- with KDE cpu stayed constantly busy, ~200MB free ram but with over 1GB of swap in use

it was similar with Gnome vs XFCE, but these GUIs were overall a bit more resource hungry and problematic to setup correctly the hidpi of this tablet
