Looking for a tablet for taking notes in engineering and deeper math classes.

I always used paper or typing (shoutout notesnook), but I want to have a big digital handwritten journal to look back at and reference.

Or if anyone is familiar with custom ROMs for android and know a good and easy to flash tablet.

I already have a thinkpad x1 carbon laptop for everything else.

Tablet will be separate for reading, home assistant, taking notes with Saber and watching entertainment.

Again, looking for a decently easy Linux tablet or de-googleable tablet with an advanced stylus.

And I'd prefer not supportting Microsoft or Google of course. And budget strictly under $200 l.

Thanks!

I'm looking around for a laptop with these characteristics in particular:

  • Screen with stylus / pen (and pressure levels), but it doesn't need to be "2-in-1".

  • Good or above-average computing capabilities.

  • Long support for some Linux distribution. I emphasize "long", because for example Lenovo for its laptops supports only one specific distribution version. Recently I upgraded my Thinkpad X1C9 to Kubuntu 24.04, but OEM drivers are only available for 20.04.

Do you have any suggestions of good vendors of a laptop like that? And experiences to share?

The Thinkpad X1 Extreme was a good example of what I have in mind. But Lenovo don't produce stuff like that anymore – and again, it doesn't really support Linux long-term.

Thank you for sharing!

What other approaches do folks use to deterministically customize Linux?
