The thing is, there aren't many hardware examples which allow installing an arbitrary OS, esp. if one has specific hardware requirements.

I prefer machines with a Wacom EMR stylus, and it's simply not possible to find a device which:

- supports the same Wacom EMR technology as my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Kindle Scribe

- has a high-resolution display

- decent battery life

- tablet form-factor

I currently compromised on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 (because I simply couldn't find a direct replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12), but the only OS option there is Windows 11 --- I've been considering a Raspberry Pi 5 and Wacom One 13 2nd Gen w/ Touch or Movink 13, but the display is only 1920x1080 and arranging for a battery is rather hackish...




I used to use a Surface Pro 3 on Linux just fine, I really don't think the hardware requirements are an issue. And circumstantially, Linux has upstream Wacom device drivers that still supports hardware from 2003 (at least my CTE 430).


Surface Pro 3 is NTrig, not Wacom EMR.

I'd be glad of a guide to installing Linux on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360.
