What’s the best tablet to install Linux on? I am looking for something affordable (under $200) and light just to use a PDF reader with MEGA sync.

    I don’t know anything about MEGA sync, but a used Surface Go 1 with 8gb if ram and the 128gb ssd is my daily driver and works really well with Fedora.

        The install was really easy even if sometimes the Surface is a bit difficult to boot on an usb drive. I don’t know why but the Usb drive is easier to boot when using ventoy on it with multiple bootable iso’s on it.

        Otherwise everything is easy and I had nothing to do to make it work fine on Fedora.

        I just don’t know how the installation process would have been without the typecover (keyboard).

        Lately I’ve installed the Linux Surface kernel to improve the mouse bluetooth also.

        You want everything just handed to you or what? You’re asking for cheap, best, and easy. At some point you need to decide what your goal is and accept that you’re going to have to compromise.

          Huh? I know exactly what I want that’s why my post was very specific. If you don’t have anything to contribute to the post go outside and take your elitism out on a punching bag.
