What To Do With Lenovo Tablet

In a series of interesting and fortunate events I have received a free Tab M9 (9″ MTK) - Arctic Grey tablet. After some cursory research, I haven’t been able to determine if I can install a Linux distro on this device. If I’m unable to, then I’m thinking of simply installing Droid-ify and replacing most of the default apps as possible. Do any of you have any advice or ideas?

Here are some of the specs for the device:

Operating System

Android™ 12

Memory

4 GB LPDDR4X (Soldered)

Storage

64 GB eMMC

Display

9.0" HD (1340 x 800) IPS, touchscreen, 400 nits

Camera

I would personally just use it as a device to watch Youtube from bed before sleep and reading books.
