This thread is intended to contain information about installing arch linux on a chuwi vi8 tablet.

Currently all information is on a gist, but unfortunately being a new User I cannot yet share links. Instead I am sharing the gist below, updates will be mentioned in further posts. Note, many things are blank as of now.

This gist is a work in progress with various tips and bits of information designed to aid anyone in trying to get linux working on their Chuwi Vi8.
