What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist
what is the best tablet for iodeOS, GrapheneOS and LineageOS
- with smooth stylus support that is as good as apple pen
- palm rejection
- pressure sensitive stylus
- works well for krita / excalidraw / xournalapp
- latency
- at least 16GB RAM and 256GB storage
For iodeOS, it doesn't seem to support any tablet device officially
For GrapheneOS, the only choice is google pixel tablet (or maybe pixel fold). However
- pixel tablet have latency issue
- based on Google Pixel Tablet Review - YouTube
- pixel fold does not support stylus
- Can someone share their GrapheneOS pixel tablet experience on krita / excalidraw / xournalapp?
For LineageOS
- What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best performance?
- What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best balance between price and performance?
- Can someone share their stylus experience on krita / excalidraw / xournalapp?
Sincere thanks

Its not a tablet but a 2 in 1 laptop, but maybe the Framework 12 could be for you.
You can use it with Linux or Windows.
looks good, nice if someone could provide their stylus use experience
honestly i would get an ipad with wifi disabled..
please check What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist? - Lemmy.World as it is updated
- ipad
- I realize my title is confusing, when I say degoogle I really meant completely Open Source and private.
- ipad with network disabled?
- not feasible in my use case
- apple backdoor is highly likely in my opnion
- Of course I don't have any proof, but I would assume it runs camera and microphone without us knowing even when the network is disabled. The data is collected and processed locally and send to apple server when network is enabled
- speech recognition is integrated in many app and sold to advertiser
- I doubt apple could resist the temptation of money and the threat from government not to activate microphone and camera without us knowing
- apple is as disgusting as google
- but of course if this is the only choice ...
- ipad
If all you need is something to draw on, get a wacom tablet and hook it up to a laptop. Wacom drivers are in the linux kernel.
In college I've been taking notes on a screenless drawing tablet, its not too bad taking out a laptop and plugging it in. It doesn't take up much space on my desk if I put the tablet on my keyboard.
Alternatively, you may also be able to get a microsoft surface laptop working on linux
XP-pen has much more cost-effective options that are just as good nowadays since wacom hasn't innovated in like 15 years lol.
They also work out of the box in Linux, but for all of the shortcuts, they also have driver packages for every distribution and if it isn't available, support will package the newest version for you (in my experience) in your chosen format and then send it to you and update the driver downloads.
The XP Pen Deco Pro Gen2 is an absolute beast for a drawing tablet.
XPPen also has a android drawing pad but that is normal android I think.
If OP wants the drawing tablet experience with a screen, they can also get XPPen Artist Pro display tablet series which of the few artists I know in real life, are what most of them use.
An actual drawing pad is much better than even an IPad for drawing, and you can also use whatever program you want (like Krita), not just the neutered programs that come on iOS or android.
Yeah I haven't bought a tablet in years, just been using the same one as I started with
Anything more than general stylus use on a Pixel tablet with GrapheneOS has been very hit or miss with me... aggravating. I fall back to my 6 year old iPad even when I just need to annotate notes. l firmly believe it's the fault of the hardware.
thanks a lot, I guess I wouldn't consider pixel tablet then
I don't think there is one, sorry
iodéOS has official support for the Galaxy Tab S5e, which is on the list you linked. I own one but I don't use it for art so I can't comment any further.
doesn't seem like a good support though
could you explain what it means by iodéOS installer compatible and Firm included?
The support is fine. It doesn't have 5G because it is not a 5G device (and one model, the WiFi one which I have, does not have any cellular capability). It doesn't support VoLTE or bootloader locking because it is a Samsung device (you always lose these features with Samsung devices unless the ROM is based on OneUI). It doesn't support the automatic iodéOS installer because, again, it is a Samsung device - you have to use Heimdall. I'm not 100% sure about the firmware bit. I believe that is referencing whether the ROM includes the latest manufacturer firmware update as well, but I can't say for sure.
Get a Lenovo Yoga, install the OS of your choice.
I forget the model, but there's a Yoga where the keyboard separates from the screen.
HP also makes a pc tablet (forget the model numbers) with no keyboard - businesses uses them as POS or client-intake systems.
Both if these will blow away any "tablet", as you can run a full OS and use apps of your choice.
thank you this could be a good alternative
I got a used Yoga Gen6 recently for not too much, really happy with it
