???
"linux" (as in 'kernel') does not provide anything related to that.
concerning "linux" (as in 'distribution') i can only speak for one:
Debian explicitely does *not* support downgrading. my experience with
ubuntu is small, but i gather that it doesn't even properly support
upgrading. tablets are a
different ecosystem, we should ignore it here.
different to what?
a considerable amount of computers sold are "tablets" there days.
a considerable amount of tablets are running "linux" these days.
as a matter of fact, i think this entire discussion makes *most* sense
in "tablet world".
