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.

What would you need the Steam Deck for?

E-reader sounds like good advice though, unless they really need colour (e.g. are planning to mainly read comics). MEGA sync probably won’t work, but Pocket might be good enough?

Kobo’s are basically Linux, and have quite a few customisation options.

I had reasoning for the steam deck when I wrote that but I’m struggling to recall why. There was some niche with Linux for it since it has good support for Linux applications but I can’t remember how I thought it would fit

Anyhow nook and especially kobo are solid.

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.
