Turning a RCA 10 Viking Pro into a linux tablet thing.....

hey guys, ive been trying to turn my old RCA 10 Viking pro tablet into a linux machine. light weight and portable. but just rooting the damn thing is a nightmare. im relly new to "rooting" android, and the tutorials i have found havent really helped. just add a bunch of apps the are slightly cancer. so if anybody can give some tips, thank you. also once i have the damn thing rooted i need to figure out how to install linux (im leaning on peppermint 10). the tablet has a usb port and a micro SD slot. so yeah if anyone reading would be willing to help, please me your wisdom! thanks!!!

Literally the first thing that came up when I googled "rca 10 viking pro root guide". It's from the best site relating to custom ROMs and whatnot, too.

Also, as for installing Linux, you aren't gonna be replacing Android. You could use an app like Linux Deploy or Limbo VM to get Linux in a chroot and VM respectively, but probably won't be able to just install Linux instead of Android. Trust me, I really fucking wish I could on my phone or something.
