Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.

I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.

I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.

    I really wonder when there will be Linux for the Google Pixel Tablet. Its very secure, GrapheneOS is already there. But Android is a shitty tablet OS, Firefox is not optimized at all, leave alone

    • antennapod
    • F-droid basic
    • aurorastore
    • collabora office
    • file managers
    • image editors, galleries
    • Element, K9mail, Signal, Telegram
    • weather apps
    • Jerboa, Fedilab, PixelDroid
    • Torbrowser Android

    Many other apps work greatly though.

    Its simply a bad experience compared to an ipad, while KDE or GNOME are probably great.

      I haven't ever tried to root an android device and Linuxify it before. Now I am curious. I use Linux at work but I am no greybeard and that task sounds like something suited for someone with a little more crust than myself.
