What’s the best tablet to install Linux on? I am looking for something affordable (under $200) and light just to use a PDF reader with MEGA sync.

    Can I be ridiculous here and say that a nook e-reader or kobo e-reader, and a steamdeck would suffice?

    Maybe just a kobo?

    I know it’s not Linux and that’s what you asked for, but at the end of 2022 when I looked into this I had a hard time finding Linux tablet with a good UX.

      What would you need the Steam Deck for?

      E-reader sounds like good advice though, unless they really need colour (e.g. are planning to mainly read comics). MEGA sync probably won’t work, but Pocket might be good enough?

      Kobo’s are basically Linux, and have quite a few customisation options.

        I had reasoning for the steam deck when I wrote that but I’m struggling to recall why. There was some niche with Linux for it since it has good support for Linux applications but I can’t remember how I thought it would fit

        Anyhow nook and especially kobo are solid.
