I wish this had a pen. I'm waiting for a Linux tablet that can be used with Krita.
I'd buy it in a second if it had a pen. Like the wacom/spen on the Samsung tablets
Same, it would be an instant sale from me.
Not exactly a tablet, but Ive been using an old Thinkpad Yoga for Krita with its built in wacom pen. Got it used for like $150
XP-PEN Deco Mini 7, works out of the box with the generic kernel driver as well. Posting in case someone's looking for one.
Well there's always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It's a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it's the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They're not inexpensive though.
That's not a bad idea. Thanks for the recomendation! I had forgotten that s-pens use wacom tech.
It's not exactly the same, but current and last gen Samsung tablets can run Krita. I've never used it on desktop though so I don't know if the Android version is worse in some way but I've had a great time with it on my Tab S8 Ultra
