No Porting a phone/tablet to a new Linux-based OS on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform requires kernel, device-tree, bootloader, and driver work that vibe coding cannot substitute for. The website content is scraped GitHub boilerplate, so the project's actual state is unclear.
What it would actually take: A real version means a Linux kernel port for the SM8550 SoC, with device-tree and driver work for the display, touch, GPU, modem, and audio, plus bootloader and firmware handling for the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro. It needs experienced low-level kernel and Android/Linux porting engineers, the device hardware for testing, and a community of testers with recovery-capable devices.
