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 ✨

    Pick up a secondhand Surface pro/go older gen install Linux and using linux-surface kernel, kernel can easily be found on github. Surface tablets are great little power houses

        If that suits your needs, then sure, but personally, I’d choose a tablet PC for its versatility, broader app selection, and to avoid the challenges posed by Google’s APIs within what I see as a problematic ecosystem. I appreciate my degoogled phone, but it’s still quite common to encounter apps that heavily rely on Google’s services
