Has anyone tested out starlabs StarLite? Going to be traveling soon and I only have a desktop so looking to get something to use in travels. Seems like I could pick up a used laptop for less but I also like that I can get a pen and produce art with this. Please let me know any thoughts you have on it if you have used! #starlabs #starlite #linux #linuxtablet

@fasnix Ich wollte auch unbedingt ein Linux Tablet. Spielverderber war bei meinen Versuchen mit einem alten Surface Gerät allerdings das schlechte OnScreen-Keyboard und das Handling bei Copy&Paste. Sehr schade, der Rest lief nämlich wirklich sehr gut.

Stylus with palm rejection works out of the box (thanks to built-in Wacom support). Only thing that doesn't work is the SIM reader, which always says "no SIM". I've tried it all, but this Intel LTE modem won't work 😬 #linux #linuxtablet

Hey! Just a quick hello from Arthur (our fluffy team member), he’s here to wish you a Happy Bank Holiday!

He’s been doing absolutely nothing all day and insists that you should do the same :)

Hope you get some time to chill, get outside or just treat yourself to something nice.

@pandora @fedibikes_de #Tablet ist leider wirklich schwierig, da suche ich auch gerade noch eine sinnvolle Möglichkeit. Ich überlege immer mal wieder ein gebrauchtes #SurfaceGo von M$ zu holen und #Linux aufzuspielen. Ich bin aber unsicher, ob es bei der Nutzbarkeit wirklich mit #Android mithalten kann (Benutzbarkeit ohne Tastatur+Maus, Akkulaufzeiten, StandBy-Zeit, zuverlässiges Einblenden der Bildschirmtastatur,...). #LinuxMobile #linuxtablet

Pine64’s RISC-V tablet now ships with a Debian-based Linux distro and improved hardware

The PineTab-V is a 10.1 inch tablet with a 1280 x 800 pixel IPS LCD display, 8GB of LPDDR4 memory, 128GB of eMMC storage, and a detachable keyboard with backlit keys.

What really makes it different from most tablets though is that it’s powered by a RISC-V processor rather than an ARM or x86 chip. Pine64 began selling the tablet to developers and early adopters in 2023, and now the company […]

I’ve been using a Lenovo Yoga for my 2-in-1 Linux computer duties. But now I have another, possibly better option. Don’t get me wrong—my Lenovo has been working great!! But ultra-repairability, and ultra-upgradability has some nice advantages! I’ll be watching this one closely! 🙂

I'm currently drafting up a review for an ARM based Linux tablet. I'm wondering what people care about the most when buying a tablet? Let me know.

Is there a cheap #linux #tablet for #kids #children that you can use to draw and which you can recommend? The tablet should include a pen.

Juno Tab 3 is an overpriced Linux tablet with an Intel N100 processor and 12GB RAM

The Juno Tab 3 is a tablet with a 12.1 inch, 2160 x 1440 pixel, 330 nit IPS LCD display, 12GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory, and an M.2 2242 SATA III SSD with at least 512GB of storage. It’s powered by a 6-watt Intel N100 quad-core processor based on Intel Alder Lake-N architecture.

What sets it apart from most tablets with those sorts of specs that this isn’t a Windows, Android , or ChromeOS […]

Using a decommissioned work laptop to install @EndeavourOS to see what a Linux foldable laptop would be like. I like the idea of it replacing my tablet, which is a Huawei and is now about 4 (5?) years without update.

If it is a good replacement, I can look at finding a cheapish foldable laptop (this work one is a Dell 5290 2 in 1) online and finally retire the excellent but now flawed Huawei.

A year or so ago @purism released a #LinuxTablet. Since #Purism also created phosh / phoc and upstreamed it all #FLOSS-y (for the #Librem5 phone), bringing adaptive windows to #Linux in a useful way, I kinda want one.

But not as much as I want my laptop to have full mobile cellular functionality.

I really want to get Starlite tablet because I think a linux based tablet would be absolute bitchin'.

I want one, but will I ever breakdown and get one...IN THIS ECONOMY?!

Finally built a working suzy-q cable and finished hacking the pixel slate. Now it runs #NixOS.

I wish there was an actual onscreen keyboard for Linux though. 20 years ago onscreen keyboards Just Worked, way back when we were porting Linux to WinCE ipaqs. Where did it go wrong?
