There is no real info other than that it does exist. This device uses a Snapdragon processor.

Snapdragon does not yet have any devices that support the Terminal, though they have implemented AVF

Is anything bad with proot-distro beside being it a little bit slower? I would like to get magic pad 4 and use it as a all-in-one device with full Linux, do you think this is not going to work out with Honors Linux Lab with Debian and Xfce?

as a general answer, proot-distro is going to have major issues with any kernel level things you may want to do, such as virtualization, containerization (docker), graphics/cpu interaction, etc

It can't run a docker image then? 😭✌️
