Basically title, but I don't want an iPad because of my "open source mindset" ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple's philosophy and I don't want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I'd like to have a tablet that doesn't all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don't know where to start to find it. Do you have some tablets to suggest? Budget is around 300/400€. Thanks to everyone who will respond ✨

I've owned both an X220T and a first generation Yoga. Each has different pen technology, but both worked out of the box on all apps on Linux.

Rnote is a good app for handwritten notes on Linux. Xournal++ used to be the one recommended, but the UI is not great. I still use it occasionally to mark-up PDFs, since I don't think Rnote is quite there on that feature yet.

Nothing quite compares to OneNote for organizing notes, however, since it has built-in OCR and you can search your handwritten notes. Unfortunately, there is no Linux implementation of it that supports inking. I've seen people say that OneNote 2010 works through WINE, but I couldn't get it running. I also tried an Android emulator to use the Android version, but it didn't work with my high DPI display and crashed a lot.
