a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school - eviltoast

Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start to find it. Do you have some tablets to suggest? Budget is around 300/400€. Thanks to everyone who will respond ✨

    I had a little trouble with a convertible and it’s touch screen, where it wouldn’t disable the touch screen when the pen was near the screen, so my palm always made xournal.scroll away.

    Turns out there’s an easy fix: the software responsible for touch and pen handling (libinput) does support disabling touch when the pen is near, it just couldn’t figure out which 2 devices belong together. A minimal udev rules file and a reboot fixes it, but the IDs depend on the hardware.
    Fortunately it has since been fixed upstream, so udev rule hacks are not needed anymore unless you run a distro that runs ancient (~2 years, but it varies) packages, like latest openSUSE Leap.
