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!

    Sure, especially if paired with the extensions mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/12xo5m6/gnome_on_a_tablet/ Some are outdated but there are alternatives for current gnome versions.

    I had two x86 tablets with linux, both with issues. Prev. owned a dell latitude 5285 and now a minisforum v3. The latitude maybe available for ~200 in secomd hand market but its quite old i5 7th gen is pretty slow today

    Both had issues with volume buttons in linux, on the dell it worked when using x11 instead of wayland and for minisforum it was a simple change in config files.
