Hello linix@lemmy, I got fixed on the idea of replacing my iPad with a 2in1 like the thibkpad X13 for uni since I use the keyboard with my iPad a lot. The only time I need to take handwritten notes is in chemistry, mathematics and to annotate PDFs. Does anyone here have experience with convertibles running Linux? What would be the best one for palm rejection and writing?

I was unable to find reviews on reasonably modern hardware. Until now I have my eyes set on an Thinkpad X13 since it is Ubuntu certified at least. Thanks :)

    Don’t get a Lenovo yoga they kinda suck

    Not sure about the ThinkPad yogas, only used a non -thinkpad one but I’m sure someone will chime in

    From what I hear, ironically enough the surface pros are pretty good for Linux

      You are right. On an university install event I installed fedora on a fairly recent model of it with secure boot and everything. As I have heard it works really well.

      Surface pros work, but they’re not ideal for linux. Expect struggle during the installation, and be aware some parts of the hardware won’t work.
