Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start to find it. Do you have some tablets to suggest? Budget is around 300/400€. Thanks to everyone who will respond ✨
Consider the Remarkable 2. It is a little Linux computer that allows root access by SSH. It’s moddable, can markup pdfs, and is pleasant to write on. If you get one, just get the bare tablet from the manufacturer. Get a folio and pen from Amazon for way cheaper. Also, you can get $50 off with a referral code from someone who already has one.
Unfortunately they have become much less friendly towards open source as time goes on and strongly push users to use their cloud. Many open source programs aren’t officially compatible with v3+ since each minor release requires reverse engineering the display binary. I am a package maintainer for Toltec and would not buy a remarkable 2 considering the direction they have taken.
Would you have a recommendation dot an alternative? That is super depressing to hear I’ve been eyeing one for a while.
Supernote is the alternative I went with. They have a pretty responsive dev team and the cloud integration is optional, you can push stuff over the local WiFi network.
