Looking for a tablet for taking notes in engineering and deeper math classes.

I always used paper or typing (shoutout notesnook), but I want to have a big digital handwritten journal to look back at and reference.

Or if anyone is familiar with custom ROMs for android and know a good and easy to flash tablet.

I already have a thinkpad x1 carbon laptop for everything else.

Tablet will be separate for reading, home assistant, taking notes with Saber and watching entertainment.

Again, looking for a decently easy Linux tablet or de-googleable tablet with an advanced stylus.

And I’d prefer not supportting Microsoft or Google of course. And budget strictly under $200 l.

Thanks!

    I have a tablet just like the one pictured, but I went with getting a Framework 12 instead with a proper stylus. Still, I’m curious if I could degoogle that tablet.

      Tell me more about the framework laptop with a stylus! I thought this was a fascinating concept but also thought that the stylus would just be a gimmick for me.

      What are you running on it?

        I went with Fedora 42 since it was recommended and it works well. The stylus support is good. Tested Krita and it was great, much better than expected :) The Framework stylus isn’t out yet so I got a Metapen M2 on recommendation from the forums.

    Minisforum v3. Should be able to get it at a decent price by now.

    Edit: of this is going to be an all day type of thing, you may just want to stick with a lower power android tablet though, not that I’m thinking about it. The v3 is a great form factor, and works perfectly with a stylus, but it packs a big CPU, and both the Gnome and KDE full tablet exper5leaves something to be desired. You’ll definitely need to charge if using for a full day of classes.
