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

      Well anything that is linux-first WITH stylus support isn’t going to be cheap.

      The cheapest Linux tab I can think of is the DC-Roma II ($250), but it’s RiscV and meant as a development platform. No stylus support.

      Similar in features is the Juno Tab 3 ($699), but it’s an n100 based tablet, and I don’t think it has stylus support.

      Maybe you can find a used Lenovo Tab and root it to install Linux? I know you’re unlikely to do so on a Samsung.
