Question If is possible: How to install Linux in an iPad?

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello Friends

My uncle has an iPad. The hardware itself is in good conditions and I am not sure when it was manufactured. I requested the exact model to know the complete specs. According with my understanding is not possible do an upgrade about the iOS

I want to know if is possible install Linux in that kind of hardware. If you have a specific recommendation to accomplish this goal according with your experience, pls let me know

Thanks for you understanding

It has been done in limited situations but requires first, a very in depth knowledge of the linux system, and 2, copious quantities of time with no promises of full functionality. My advice is to forget trying to use an iPad in such a manner.

Installing a fully functional Linux distribution on an iPad is not possible , because of the devices specific architecture and Apples huge restrictions. A FULLY FUNCTIONAL Linux distribution on an iPad does not exist.
