Touch inputs can be a little messy, driver support for closed source hardware (e.g., MS Surface) is understandably rocky, and I’ve had bad experience with battery longevity especially on open source hardware.
My 6-year-old SP battery still has ~70% capacity, which is teriffic. I have had other laptops lose 90% of their capacity after just a year or two, so I’m skeptical of the tablet market.
I’m not saying good Linux tablets don’t exist, just that I’m looking for recommendations since the waters feel murkier to me.
Why are linux options light on the tablet front? It should work the same as on a laptop
Mint runs great on my dell tablet. Touch screen works fine although I haven’t tried it with a pen yet.
Nice. Which model is it?
Dell Latitude 5290. It’s starting to show it’s age but linux has made it snappy. Even runs lightweight steam games.

Ah okay that makes sense. Too bad the drivers are closed source that might be the cause of a lot of these issues
