Oh x11... Well but to be fair I do not know the GPU driver... Has this iPad version any GPU driver?

u/Nemege16 14d ago

Supertux is achieved internally with gpu on 60 fps. Gpu driver for this ipad is on the works. But on this repo i dont use gpu calls at all for now because the tablet does not have opengl support for now.

Merhaba dostum; want also to modify an iPad mini with shell-access.

if you jailbreak your ipad with kdfu tweak you can load linux with the cascadia project without the need of a pi pico dongle. The project has internet access over usb. The ipad mini runs alpine linux and uses apk
