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 ✨

GrapheneOS is stock Android without any tablet mods. As its such a nieche, AOSP sucks extremely on Tablets. If you want to try how it sucks, run Waydroid on your Linux machine.

Many apps dont display well like they whould. Firefox for example has no adaptive Tablet UI, so Chromium / Cromite / Brave are the only good options.

Pixel Tablets are awesome though, as they are secure and well documented. Could be great ARM linux tablets, for some modern system like Fedora Silverblue. On Tablets I would say GNOME is superior, both are not really ready yet. KDE Plasma mobile looks great too though

Well if I have a tablet, it wouldn't be for Linux based apps, unless maybe some SSH/terminal stuff anyway. The apps mentioned would need to update to properly support tablets, if they haven't been yet.

What mentioned apps? And what do you mean by "updated", automatically in the background, or "getting a Tablet UI at all"?

There is xournal++ for writing, apart from that no idea. This "write text with a pen, the OS recognizes it and replaces it by text" is not there yet afaik.

You mentioned, firefox. The app could be updated to better support tablet UI. That's what I meant.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. But that would be a rather big thing, should be done though. I will open a FR

[–] KindnessInfinity@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That'd be a good idea
