While I am not an absolute noob about Linux or the general Unix operating system, I do have a question about two tablet computers that I own. Both of those tablets were configured and sold with the Windows operating system. On one of the tablets, if I turn it on it will attempt to do an 'update' to the OS but will stall and give a warning to the effect that there is not enough free space available to install all of the updates that need to be downloaded. The other tablet is a little older and I really don't worry (or even think) about that one very much. My main computer is a Dell that was running Windows 10, but is now running Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. My question is: Not really knowing the available RAM or storage available in either of the tablets, is there a version of Linux that can make them usable again? I have a USB data transfer cable that can be used between the main computer and either of the tablets to load files on the tablet. I also have GParted on the main computer and would use that to clean and reformat whatever amount of internal storage there might be. I welcome suggestions on which version might be better (or best) for use in a small tablet (screen size on one is less than 9 inches, and the other is about 10.5 inches). Thank you for any help.
