I haven’t had a great time with Linux on a tablet without a keyboard and mouse but PostmarketOS is 100% usable IMO. Even the on screen keyboard on the login screen works.

    The CPU might be the same, but the audio chip, trackpad, etc. might be different and require a new driver.

        I’m not sure how you’d handle hardware in hardware.

        Microcode is usually only run on the CPU, so in that case the implementation would be called “drivers”. If you ran it on the device it would be called “firmware” and the OS still has to know how it address its interfaces somehow, and implementation is again called a “driver”.
