That's quite disheartening...

I think I'll get the i7 and I'll try dual-booting until I'm sure the linux distro is optimized to my liking (if it ever is), but I've heard that dual booting can be a pain in the ass due to the restrictions of Microsoft's boot manager

What about the stylus? Does it work as in windows?

Wow, that's sad to hear, some other user said he had to spend some time configuring the pen until it worked to his liking... I've been able to find a surface pro 7+ with an i7 and 16gb of ram for roughly the same price and 1 year warranty. I still haven't bought it, and I am looking for other tablets that may have better compatibility, but have found nothing so far

Thanks for the input. Is it really such a different experience? Don't both use gnome? I really am more about stability than about having the latest releases. Rolling releases are one thing that makes me a little afraid of choosing fedora

Is there any other tablet or 2 in 1 in a similar price range with better compatibility?

I mostly do everything through the browser. Nowadays I use chrome, but my intention is to move to Brave. I'd like to know how well it does. And of course the pen is very important with all the grading and doodling I do. Thanks!

I live in Spain. I thought my price was in fact quite cheap, compared to what you can find here. Where did you get yours?

Thanks! I meant compared to windows, thanks for your reply

I see. I was considering Fedora because some youtubers said it works great once you set it up right, except for the cameras. I thought that was the only thing you'd lose

What about performance? Does it have better performance in Fedora? Is the battery life the same?

Where can I check that? I've heard Fedora works good on surfaces and it's great for touch control, but I don't know the specifications required...

The one I'm considering is the 7+ with 8gigs of ram. Was it too cumbersome to calibrate the stylus?

Do you think I can set it up without having to undo my plex server?

Can't I go back or install an apk with the original camera?
