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

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

    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.
