I wish this had a pen. I'm waiting for a Linux tablet that can be used with Krita.
Same, it would be an instant sale from me.
Not exactly a tablet, but Ive been using an old Thinkpad Yoga for Krita with its built in wacom pen. Got it used for like $150
XP-PEN Deco Mini 7, works out of the box with the generic kernel driver as well. Posting in case someone's looking for one.
I'd buy it in a second if it had a pen. Like the wacom/spen on the Samsung tablets
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.
That's not a bad idea. Thanks for the recomendation! I had forgotten that s-pens use wacom tech.
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
