please check What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist? - Lemmy.World as it is updated
- ipad
- I realize my title is confusing, when I say degoogle I really meant completely Open Source and private.
- ipad with network disabled?
- not feasible in my use case
- apple backdoor is highly likely in my opnion
- Of course I don't have any proof, but I would assume it runs camera and microphone without us knowing even when the network is disabled. The data is collected and processed locally and send to apple server when network is enabled
- speech recognition is integrated in many app and sold to advertiser
- I doubt apple could resist the temptation of money and the threat from government not to activate microphone and camera without us knowing
- apple is as disgusting as google
- but of course if this is the only choice ...
I don't think there is one, sorry
Get a Lenovo Yoga, install the OS of your choice.
I forget the model, but there's a Yoga where the keyboard separates from the screen.
HP also makes a pc tablet (forget the model numbers) with no keyboard - businesses uses them as POS or client-intake systems.
Both if these will blow away any "tablet", as you can run a full OS and use apps of your choice.
thank you this could be a good alternative
Anything more than general stylus use on a Pixel tablet with GrapheneOS has been very hit or miss with me... aggravating. I fall back to my 6 year old iPad even when I just need to annotate notes. l firmly believe it's the fault of the hardware.
thanks a lot, I guess I wouldn't consider pixel tablet then
iodéOS has official support for the Galaxy Tab S5e, which is on the list you linked. I own one but I don't use it for art so I can't comment any further.
doesn't seem like a good support though
could you explain what it means by iodéOS installer compatible and Firm included?
The support is fine. It doesn't have 5G because it is not a 5G device (and one model, the WiFi one which I have, does not have any cellular capability). It doesn't support VoLTE or bootloader locking because it is a Samsung device (you always lose these features with Samsung devices unless the ROM is based on OneUI). It doesn't support the automatic iodéOS installer because, again, it is a Samsung device - you have to use Heimdall. I'm not 100% sure about the firmware bit. I believe that is referencing whether the ROM includes the latest manufacturer firmware update as well, but I can't say for sure.
