Hi, lets talk about 2in1 laptops and tablets. Which ones are the best for running linux on them, which ones are your favorites right now, what do you like using them for, etc. I find myself really missing having a 2in1 sometimes, especially for the portability aspects of them.

Update:

I have been thinking about what my usecases for it will be and I’m definitely leaning more towards a tablet for it’s better portability. I think the StarLite will be the biggest contender so far.

Some of the main things I would like to be using it for will be:

-navigation in my vehicle

-videos

-music

-browsing/online research

-weather station

I have a ThinkPad X12 that supports Linux well. The pen works fairly well with Xournal++. I don’t use it that often because I prefer a traditional laptop form factor, but it’s great if you like the Surface style design.

I also have an X12. Ironically one of my issues is that it’s too surface-pro like I’m terms of form-factor. When I saw it online I thought the keyboard connection was more rigid like a surface book (more lap friendly). In terms of specs though it beat the pants off any of the comparable spro’s at the time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
