My wife is looking for a portable device primarily for modeling in Blender and optionally for drawing in Krita. So we looking for something with a GNU/Linux support from manufacturer.

We considered https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityFlex-14-Gen1, it looks nice, but maybe you have other suggestions? Do you have experience with convertibles, how convenient is to draw on them?

We also considered https://earth.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite for drawing and a separate device for Blender, but having two devices might not be convenient…

    Bit of a joke suggestion but purely hardware wise steam deck might do the trick, its graphics processing is very good considering the size and lack of discrete GPU

    Also quite subsidized because valve expect people to make up the value in buying games, so more bang for your buck

    Plugged into a keyboard and possibly monitor could do the trick

      That’s exactly what I planning to use on travel 😅

      I don’t planning to work on the go, just wanted a portable PC.

      We are considering just a portable PC for her and a tablet for drawing right now…
