Re: Nexus 10 Manta Mainline allows me to install Debian on my Nexus 10 ?

they don't reply to me.

I found the architecture :

cpu = ARM Cortex-A15
cpu bits = 32
instruction set = ARMv7

source : https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9bef283c

so,it should be armhf,right ?

I see no guide on the link that you gave to me. Can you point me to a more specific link ? I need a tutorial that teaches me how to use the code stored on the github of those guys. Thank you very much.

Great! Continue talking to them.

Find out if this is an armel, armhf, or arm64 machine. All three
are nominally supported by Debian, but booting is going to be
fun (i.e. hard) in most cases.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ will give you a guide to
read once you know the architecture.

Once you've got a kernel booting, you can build an installation
with debootstrap -- you'll want to build it on a different
machine, then copy the image over to whatever media the hardware
can use.

If I remember correctly, the Nexus 10 had a bunch of cases of
bad storage with very limited write lifetime. They are all 11
years old now, so be prepared for that, too.
