I'm still torn whether I should buy a Pixel Tablet for GrapheneOS or just a Linux tablet - like a ThinkPad for whatever.

@kaia Android has a more coherent/accessible app ecosystem IMO, depends on your requirements.

@thatbrickster @kaia is touch screen support better on Linux now? Last time I tried, things were very finicky and inconsistent.

@schappi yeah that's the big issue. I'm looking at ThinkPad Yogas, but what use is the touchscreen without a touch OS

Except for the soldered ram and crap like that. Spending over 500 bucks for something that is very hard to repair and removed functions like optical disc player is bullshit.

nice of you, but you know that I own a X390 already. I was looking for a tablet as per the first post of this thread

@kaia as an expert in technology and style
I think you should get the Microsoft Surfacepro
Just because I have one and I like it

@kaia I feel like it depends mostly on what you plan to do with it. Graphene is an amazing OS but it will almost certainly break lots of apps such as banking and whatnot, I also can't remember if it allows for MicroG installation or not.
GNOME is now designed with the use of touchscreens in mind however, but older Thinkpads are weak by modern standards and GNOME is a shit DE that's barely optimized lmao.
*Personally* I'd get a thinkpad before anything google, to avoid giving them money, but if you can find a google device used and for cheap neither will hurt.
