PineTab2 (lemmy.zip)
submitted 4 days ago by Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hello,
I am currently thinking about getting a PineTab2. I need a new tablet because my old one starts come apart day by day and I want to switch to Linux as much as possible. I use my tablet mostly to write (LibreOffice and LaTeX), organize personal documents and data, visit some websites on my breaks and really rarely to code simple little tasks in Python (I mostly did this while I was still in university).
So would the PineTab2 be a good product for all this? Has anybody experience with it or own one themself? My Linux experiences are limited but not non existent. Thanks in advance.

Consider getting a Dell 2 in 1 and putting Linux on it. I have one and it works quite well as a tablet With gnome and the keyboard is attached. you can switch to touch pad for any wonky touch screen behavior.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
