Hey there, Is there a source out there where I can find tablets fit for Linux…? Am not after Pine or what have you…just a tablet, Samsung or what have you that can run Linux as custom rom.
Thanks
Xiaomi Pad 6 is a good price and is compatible with plenty of custom roms. Some people don’t trust them because it’s a Chinese brand, but I figure the odds are about the same that it’s got hardware level spying as a Google or Microsoft tablet. At least it’s easy to root or reformat.
A Surface Go 1 has been my daily driver for the last 4 years on Fedora.
I’m mostly using it docked to a USB-C screen but it works fine by itself. I’m also using a keyboard so it’s mostly a PC and not a tablet anymore😅
But I’m really happy with it and it works almost flawlessly.
I am also using Fedora on my Surface Go 1. Decent experience so far, but I can’t wait for the Gnome mobile patches to come in. It feels slightly clunky to use with just the touch screen.
Why not a PineTab though? It is the exact thing that you’re describing.
Tablet linux is not perfect yet, I’d suggest a pixel tablet w/ custom roms unless you are willing to use a slightly buggy linux interface. If you are willing to, look at dell latitude tablets or surfaces
The Minisforum tablet seems to work well with Linux.
I’m guessing ARM specifically? I use a Lenovo Yoga convertible in tablet mode with Fedora and the onscreen keyboard for media consumption, but not as my daily device. Not great battery life, but I got it dirt cheap used.
