Note Note: Since 02/02/2024, the original development of PostmarketOS is abandoned for a while, please look for other Linux distributions instead.

A unofficial installation guide for Ubuntu is here:Linux for MI Pad 5

Update: there is a merge request with the nabu device package: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5804

Now nabu is in the testing folder of pmaports, you build images with pmbootstrap, only in edge branch
