From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

BlissOS might do?
They state x86_64 on their downloads page, so it is probably for 64 bit systems only, but OP's tablet being from 2021 should be 64 bit.
That’s interesting! Actually a friend contacted me yesterday about android on a PC, and while I immediately replied „no“ I just revisited this and saw your reply! We‘ll give it a shot I think! Thank you!
On Linux there's also the Waydroid project which might be a more safe option and actually runs pretty well on my budget machine considering it runs on top of another OS.
Oh that’s interesting. Just out of curiousity, do you know whether I can connect to devices via Bluetooth from e.g. Waydroid? Would maybe give it a try!
I didn't try that, but I think it is not possible, but since the Android is running on top of Linux, you just connect to your bluetooth headphones using the under Linux and it will have the same result.
thank you! unfortunately it's not about headphones but about some proprietary android app that has it's own protocol to talk with some also proprietary devices via bluetooth, so that probably won't work. but will try bliss os soon (soon = in the next month, hopefully, haha)!
