Not while the bootloader is locked.
- WillAdams 2y agoThe thing is, there aren't many hardware examples which allow installing an arbitrary OS, esp. if one has specific hardware requirements. I prefer machines with a Wacom EMR stylus, and it's simply not possible to find a device which: - supports the same Wacom EMR technology as my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Kindle Scribe - has a high-resolution display - decent battery life - tablet form-factor I currently compromised on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 (because I simply couldn't find a direct replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12), but the only OS option there is Windows 11 --- I've been considering a Raspberry Pi 5 and Wacom One 13 2nd Gen w/ Touch or Movink 13, but the display is only 1920x1080 and arranging for a battery is rather hackish...
- talldayo 2y agoI used to use a Surface Pro 3 on Linux just fine, I really don't think the hardware requirements are an issue. And circumstantially, Linux has upstream Wacom device drivers that still supports hardware from 2003 (at least my CTE 430).
- WillAdams 2y agoSurface Pro 3 is NTrig, not Wacom EMR. I'd be glad of a guide to installing Linux on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360.
