Hey there, Is there a source out there where I can find tablets fit for Linux…? Am not after Pine or what have you…just a tablet, Samsung or what have you that can run Linux as custom rom.
Thanks
Why not a PineTab though? It is the exact thing that you’re describing.
Pretty well yes…just thought I’d test the waters first. Just weird I can’t find anything on the web.

A Surface Go 1 has been my daily driver for the last 4 years on Fedora.
I’m mostly using it docked to a USB-C screen but it works fine by itself. I’m also using a keyboard so it’s mostly a PC and not a tablet anymore😅
But I’m really happy with it and it works almost flawlessly.
It’s not without some flaws (much of which really doesn’t bother me and I low-key find them as a feature), I really love this jank Chinese 2 in 1 I picked up. P8 mini laptop. I will say there are alternatives that have a better non swiveling screen… I would go for one of those as I feel like it’s going to be problematic long-term
Xiaomi Pad 6 is a good price and is compatible with plenty of custom roms. Some people don’t trust them because it’s a Chinese brand, but I figure the odds are about the same that it’s got hardware level spying as a Google or Microsoft tablet. At least it’s easy to root or reformat.
Starlabs starlite tablet looks really nice. I actually just ordered one the other day. I don’t have it yet so I can’t give you a review but from what I have read it’s pretty nice. It’s an Intel machine, upgradable, running coreboot so the compatibility should be high.
Have you looked at the Starlite? It’s more expensive than an android tablet but might do what you’re looking for.
I’m guessing ARM specifically? I use a Lenovo Yoga convertible in tablet mode with Fedora and the onscreen keyboard for media consumption, but not as my daily device. Not great battery life, but I got it dirt cheap used.
