I need a tablet for uni and I want to run Linux on it. It doesn’t need to be the fastest but it should be able to run Rnote and a web browser comfortably. It doesn’t need to come with Linux, I am comfortable with installing and managing my system. I thought about buying a Microsoft Surface since they seem to be supported prettty well but I want to see what alternatives there are.

It needs to have a Stylus for writing. I have around 450€ to spend and would go a little higher. Also I will probably buy a used device

    I had issues with debian-based distros as well, that’s why I switched to fedora. I also think the go 3 has better support in general. The cameras are still annoying but things have gotten better, with Firefox getting libcamera support.

      It’s moot for me know because my Go sits on my home desk. The initramfs got borked during the Trixie time_t64 transition, and I should have just chrooted and fixed it, but I just let it be because I was sort of done with it. I threw Debian on a beat-up old Lenovo Yoga that I brought on a few trips before getting my Thinkpad E16, which I love, especially after I got that one Wi-Fi card bug sorted out.
