You can use desktop linux distro in a container
Thanks! Would hardware and software be powerful enough for that?
I did not try myself, but you can read about it here: Full linux distros on Sailfish OS - maemo.org - Talk
I got my PT2 today and installed Sailfish to a SD card, installing went fine.
Now, the WLAN password is lost every time the tablet reboots, which reminds me on the JT and the non-static MAC adress. Is there a way to fix it?
And is there a way to install SFOS via computer to the emmc or do I have to boot any linux from SD card and then start the script?
Piggz had answert the question in this thread. You have to wait until it gets fixed

How do you get the Pinetab 2 to b the SD card. I bought two of these before the WIFI was fixed, I got one working by plugging it into my wifi router then downloaded the update and it connected to the internet and it works fine, The second one though just boots to the login screen, you login, then you see the Plazma logo, then it goes blank and just has a mouse pointer on the screen but nothing to click on. Nothing I do seems to get it to boot from the SD card, Any ideas,
Did you check the pine64 wiki for PT2? Did it arrive with a UART/maskrom adaptor? Have a read: PineTab2 FAQ - PINE64
Otherwise, try Towboot to run it in “jumpdrive” mode and flash the emmc.
The easiest way is to create SailfishOS SD-Card from another computer and afterwards put it into PineTab2. If you have no other computer, you can put an USB-Stick into your PineTab, upgrade Linux so it can use internal Wifi.
