Hey all, Looking forward for any info about OS for tablets? Years ago I had bought Huawei android 5. Was in the drawer for year and now want to give a new life for it. Is there a possibility? I have read that some OS could safe the tablet from throwing it away. I need it for offline use and Bluetooth is necessary.
See if lineage OS might support it.
Instalation is so complicated of Lineage… I was wondering any other OS… I don’t need and I will not use internet or Sim in it. Was thinking maybe some kind of PC OS is possible to install?

I have not tried, and couldn’t find a model called ‘Huawei 5’, so std apolls if I waste your time.
Have you considered OpenHarmony.cn ? Huawei made HarmonyOS, forked it and supports openharmony community-based OS themselves, so there’s a chance that your tablet will work with it.

Fedora GNOME with extensions is a great Linux tablet OS, but I’m not sure it would support your hardware, it might only support Microsoft Surface tablets
I checked here https://xdaforums.com/c/huawei.11977/ but didn’t find a Huawei with “android” in it’s name. Maybe there is a more official name for your tablet? Anyhoo, good luck.
