I would like to install Ubuntu on my Nexus 10 / Manta using kernel version 6.1.4

[Mario Marietto]

Ciao Oli,

please give a look at this post :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-mainlining-manta-kernel.4461617/

and you will read that those two developers have been able to make work the
most important components of the nexus 10. I want to do the same,but since
I'm a newbie,I miss the overall comprension of the whole process. I need a
tutorial,even if not so specific,to understand what to do.
