Installing Ubuntu Linux on Onda 820w intel x86 tablet (medium.com/tomac)

Does anyone know whether this would work on a Vivax TPC-800 [1], which I think could be a rebranded version of the Onda tablet? I was thinking of getting it for myself for less than $120 at my local store and using Ubuntu on it. Will it work properly, and are there drivers?

But now a review of actually using an Ubuntu tablet? Is this an option tot a cheap but secure kids tablet?

Otherwise cute, albeit worthless (click here to select boot device) blog post with a sole purpose of making people click his affiliate link.
