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.

Any good Linux Tablet recommendations? (lemmy.world)

Been trying to find a good tablet for productivity and recreation. Something that can be used for programming (Not web), and something that can play DRM content.

Ideally, something under $1000.

I've already looked at the Librem 11 and am considering it, but I want to know other (ideally, cheaper) options available.

I thought about buying a Starlite by Starlabs. It looked pretty cool, but I just don't need a tablet.

I daily drive a Starlite 3 (the older version is a laptop) and am happy with it. Once thought about buying the Starlite 5 (the new convertible tablet) when the keyboard on mine was broken, but then gave up the idea because of how repairable the laptop version is. End up I just bought a replacement keyboard.

It is great if you need a touch screen and don't have concern about repairing. But if it is just for occasional use, I may go with the Pinetab instead. Never tried one but I guess it will be more fun.

It does look cool, but it’s quite expensive for what it is.
