      I stand correct then. I wonder what the problem is with the JingPad in that case. Like, is there some weird hardware or chip that they’re using that only has proprietary drivers? Maybe the rounded tablet style touchscreen? Or are they just not making their own custom hardware drivers open source?

          Most soc drivers are closed sourced and compiled into the kernel.

          The biggest pitfall of a monolithic kernel is the security implications of these drivers.
