I’ve had this Xiaomi Pad 6 for quite some time now. For most of its life it was running Android: stock MIUI -> Hyper OS -> AOSP (custom ROM variants). I finally found a community initiative working on mainlining the SM8250 platform which supports a few devices including this one. I instantly switched to running Ubuntu initially but later moved to Fedora 43.
The setup
- The tab itself running Fedora 43
- Apple Magic Keyboard
- Apple Magic Mouse
- A custom 3D printed frame to integrate the keyboard and the tab into one unit
