Nobody.  Nothing about your original post said *anything* about what
you planned on doing, or if you planned on doing anything at all.  All
you did was point to a cheap tablet and ask people to compare it to
using a RPi.  That’s what people are doing, and it’s a very trollish
response to cop an attitude like we’re doing something wrong when we
point out the strengths *we* see in using an RPi.

Well good for you, I guess, but that has nothing to do with using a
tablet vs. an RPi.  Or do you imagine these cheap Android tablets are
built to offer that “bare metal” experience you’re looking for?  Time
to reconnect with reality.
