I wish this had a pen. I’m waiting for a Linux tablet that can be used with Krita.
I’d buy it in a second if it had a pen. Like the wacom/spen on the Samsung tablets
Well there’s always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It’s a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it’s the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They’re not inexpensive though.
That’s not a bad idea. Thanks for the recomendation! I had forgotten that s-pens use wacom tech.
It’s not exactly the same, but current and last gen Samsung tablets can run Krita. I’ve never used it on desktop though so I don’t know if the Android version is worse in some way but I’ve had a great time with it on my Tab S8 Ultra
I want one! Well, I’d rather have one with a 10" display, but this looks good too.
Paid 200 for an old surface, it literally races with arch. No problems whatsoever. But libreboot would be nice.

Thank you, goodnight.
Can someone explain why this thing exists?
Why do you exist?
I exist to bath in the glory of your spam-y-ness.
It’s an MS Surface for Linux users.

To sell to people who only buy devices with Linux pre-installed. But with no Surface or Apple Pencile like input device it’s just a fancy tablet with Linux.
$498
optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.
Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?
Do you think it is overpriced?
I was doing the configure your device option but I have no clue if the ”additional language” is the external keyboard. It has to be(?) :)
It looks like they’re combining two options into one, like instead of having you choose “optional keyboard Y/N” and then “keyboard language”, you just choose them both at once, like “optional keyboard and if so, what language?”
From another post about this yesterday, I found in the specifications section of their website, a “what’s in the box”: No mention of a keyboard. So the base model has no keyboard. So ya, choosing the layout is also opting for the keyboard, and, adding an extra ~$100 to the price.
Do you think it is overpriced?
Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.
