What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist

what is the best tablet for iodeOS, GrapheneOS and LineageOS

  • with smooth stylus support that is as good as apple pen
    • palm rejection
    • pressure sensitive stylus
    • works well for krita / excalidraw / xournalapp
    • latency
  • at least 16GB RAM and 256GB storage

For iodeOS, it doesn't seem to support any tablet device officially


For GrapheneOS, the only choice is google pixel tablet (or maybe pixel fold). However


For LineageOS

  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best performance?
  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best balance between price and performance?
  • Can someone share their stylus experience on krita / excalidraw / xournalapp?

Sincere thanks

App was installed from Fdroid, but I'm curious why it can browse any folders and see all files. Going into App settings, the Permissions is greyed out. Usually Android will prompt if I want an app to allow access to files (full/limited/none) but not for this app.

Saw it in another thread, thought it might be interesting to share for people who find the Fossify one a bit basic: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.dot.gallery/

Hi, where else can I upload this image to illustrate what I mean?

This is UI on my nothing phone. I see a major benefit for my everyday mental wellbeing to not have my phone shooting at me with all colors, and instead being "just a good interface".

There might be some issues with icon recognition and speed of access, but since that's your device and your icon placement, you eventually getting used to it. In exchange you receive a clean UI which doesn't overload your receptors, which is a very important thing for the device you look at often.

Weather widget in the middle often shows calendar events, but I don't discolse that for privacy.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Read that as five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches.
