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.

    Have an SP4 now, running Nobara KDE, because I’m too lazy to install the surface Linux kernel on a different distro. It’s pretty great. I bought a cheap one, and it has some issues unrelated to Linux. In fact it runs a lot better and the hardware issues are alleviated slightly after removing windows.
    Long story short, would highly recommend buying a not borked Surface and slapping Linux on it.

      Does Nobara have surface kernel built in?!?? This is news to me, might reinstall due to this.

        Sure does pal! There’s a non-surface version, but as far as I know it’s the only distro that includes it stock. And on my SP4 it’s been absolutely butter smooth.
