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!

    Edit: Oh, I just saw your budget. This is ~$800, so maybe not.

    There’s the Starlite 5: https://us.starlabs.systems/products/starlite?variant=55242571612540

    I’ve got one. It’s got an x86 processor and runs standard fedora just fine, including pen input.

    Though, I don’t use it for much because I haven’t found any note-taking software that I actually like using. I used something back in college that just created SVG pages in an HTML notebook which I absolutely loved, but I can’t find it now. It wasn’t open source so I’m guessing it might have just died.

      Maybe some day 🙏

      Also, I’ve been trying the Sober written notes app and it’s pretty good for me. I hope you can check it out and like it.
