Hey,

I'm looking for a tablet to put linux on and use it for nothing but writing and drawing. And I don't mean running linux/bsd on top of whatever OS the tablet ships with, I mean completely replacing it.

I'm sure this has been done before, and there should be resources for specific devices, but search engines don't really wanna spit those out at me :(

So I just want to find the smallest and cheapest where the process is doable and somewhat decently documented.

Thank you for any and all help!

Hi,

So, after doing all kinds of research I figured qobuz is the least evil streaming service and the only one I'd be willing to use.

However, after trying it, I realised that they don't allow VPNs. Often it doesn't recognize the IPs as a VPN, but for some servers it does.

So, since I could get locked out at any time, this isn't a long-term solution for me.

I'm thinking of self-hosting. But then there's no recommendations. And if I hear anything I like, I need to find the stuff as well, which is gonna be tricky the more obscure it is. I can't afford to buy more than maybe two albums a month. And often it's just individual songs I want.

Do I need to drop the luxury of recommendation radio and easy access to nearly every song I like?

The issue I'm seeing with any free plans of email providers is that they either require an identifying verification, or don't allow the email to be used for services.

tutamail, for example, states that the free plan is not to be used to signup for services.

protonmail requires verification by email 'to prove you are human'.

Thank you
