I wish this had a pen. I'm waiting for a Linux tablet that can be used with Krita.

[-] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

Same, it would be an instant sale from me.

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'd buy it in a second if it had a pen. Like the wacom/spen on the Samsung tablets

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well there's always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It's a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it's the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They're not inexpensive though.

[-] MossBear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's not a bad idea. Thanks for the recomendation! I had forgotten that s-pens use wacom tech.

[-] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's not exactly the same, but current and last gen Samsung tablets can run Krita. I've never used it on desktop though so I don't know if the Android version is worse in some way but I've had a great time with it on my Tab S8 Ultra

[-] anlumo@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

Why would you want a tablet with an Intel processor? Especially with Linux, which unlike Windows, runs perfectly fine on ARM.

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Another fine kbin thumbnail image caching bug. Prepare for our entire instance to comment.

[-] LoafyLemon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm ready to draw my pen out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] Whatisawaffle@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Okay but why is the thumbnail an erotic underwear model with her bush out?

[-] Maestro@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

IIRC it's a kbin isduIsue only. Some problem with cached images

Presumably, your lemmy instance (or rather kbin) did something wrong with its caching.

[-] FishInABarrel@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think there's a bug causing threads that don't have an image to pull a random thumbnail. I've seen a lot of unrelated thumbnails the last couple of days, but this is the first NSFW one.

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If it is not W, I'm fine with that.

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That is a valid question. I cannot find the thumbnail image on the site.

[-] Ninth3891@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Whatisawaffle@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I see...and why is it the thumbnail on an article for a piece of computer hardware?

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Someone knows something like this with (possibly color) E-Ink?

Or maybe an E-Reader where you can go out of the reader application and install Android/Linux apps (e.g. you can "hack" them without much trouble)?

[-] jdaxe@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

Nowhere near as powerful, but you might find this interesting https://beepy.sqfmi.com/? It has a similar display to e-ink

It's a bit of a DIY thing but cool if you're into that, especially if you already have a pi zero.

Paid 200 for an old surface, it literally races with arch. No problems whatsoever. But libreboot would be nice.

[-] HikuNoir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can someone explain why this thing exists?

[-] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago
[-] HikuNoir@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I exist to bath in the glory of your spam-y-ness.

It's an MS Surface for Linux users.

[-] HikuNoir@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I liked the look of those when they came out. It was such a pity they where WindowsOs.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

To sell to people who only buy devices with Linux pre-installed. But with no Surface or Apple Pencile like input device it's just a fancy tablet with Linux.
