Touch inputs can be a little messy, driver support for closed source hardware (e.g., MS Surface) is understandably rocky, and I’ve had bad experience with battery longevity especially on open source hardware.

My 6-year-old SP battery still has ~70% capacity, which is teriffic. I have had other laptops lose 90% of their capacity after just a year or two, so I’m skeptical of the tablet market.

I’m not saying good Linux tablets don’t exist, just that I’m looking for recommendations since the waters feel murkier to me.

Ah okay that makes sense. Too bad the drivers are closed source that might be the cause of a lot of these issues
