If there was a tablet with: - Wacom EMR - touch - high resolution display - decent performance - decent battery life I'd like to know of it so I can buy one --- the nearest replacement I could find for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 was a Book 3 Pro 360, and it has me contemplating giving up the battery and high resolution and getting a Raspberry Pi 5 and Wacom One 13 Gen 2 touch screen.

So are the compromises of Year of Desktop Linux. Those of us that rather not deal with those issues any longer, buy Apple, Google or Microsoft, and run GNU/Linux on a VM, via whatever mechanisms they make available. However buying Apple, Google or Microsoft, and then complaining they don't make hardware to run GNU/Linux natively on it, what is one naively expecting them to do otherwise?

  I'd be satisfied with a documented and workable and reliable way to root an Android tablet and run Linux on it.

  They could stop forcing a windows license down your throat that you basically cannot get rid of and are forced to pay regardless of whether you're going to use it. That would be a logical and good first step. We've been asking this for two decades and have been ignored. Also, I haven't seen a single seasoned Linux desktop user that cares about the "year of the Linux desktop". It's a meme that's only being repeated by Mac or windows users that "will switch over right away when this particular thing gets fixed", always finding another reason to talk themselves from doing it for basically decades, or well known FOSS haters such as yourself.

    I use UNIX since introduction to Xenix in 1993, plenty of commercial UNIX flavours, started with GNU/Linux in 1995's Summer, lost count on the distributions tried since 1995, subscribed to Linux Journal since it went out of print, have a good Walnut Creek CD-ROM collection. When I really want Linux on a box, I care to find a OEM that makes it possible, regardless if the distribution is specific to them, like on Raspberry PI's case.
