Been trying to find a good tablet for productivity and recreation. Something that can be used for programming (Not web), and something that can play DRM content.

Ideally, something under $1000.

I’ve already looked at the Librem 11 and am considering it, but I want to know other (ideally, cheaper) options available.

    Ublue has variants with the surface kernel by default. Really, just use their hacky stuff instead of getting all the errors on your device.

    I am sure their gaming focused bazzite variant has a surface version. Ublue fedora is way more secure than Nobara. Fedora doesnt support Apparmor by default, so SELinux will be more secure. There are tons of things wrong with nobara, and the performance increase is really not important (TheLinuxExp tested it and its like 5%)

      Fair enough, I hadn’t known about Ublue. Give it a go tonight. That said, running Nobara, I’ve not had any unexpected errors. And it’s not like I actually do anything that puts any of my info to exposure on my SP4. No email, banking, messaging, don’t even log into my Firefox account. I basically use it for retro gaming, reading manga, and not a whole lot else tbh.

        Having a device just for fun stuff… is interesting. The threat is not big but it is always possible. And in my honest opinion, after having broken every other distro model, rpm-ostree is just awesome.

          Sorry, it sounds like you’re poopooing having something purely for fun? I spent less on it than I would a night out with the wife, and it’s got hardware issues that make it not a great candidate for a daily driver. So it’s a toy. shrugs
