Quick doodle to test a refurbished Ms Surface Pro 3 (cheap, 2014) running GNU/Linux (Fedora Gnome). Good hardware support out of the box for stylus and touch on this model.
Feedback: - I could saw almost nothing while drawing, even with backlight to max and no sunglasses. - It's not precise at all. - It's super hot today and so was the black tablet.
But a 100% Free/Libre and open-source digital drawing pad with Mypaint on a bench? Very fun!
Paper really beats digital on everything for plein-air outside, imo: ✅ No battery issue. ✅ Super visibility. ✅ Real time high FPS gesture. ✅ Texture and no parralax. ✅ Mega cheap in comparison. ✅ Ecologically-friendlier. ✅ Lightweight in a backpack. ✅ No boot time or waiting time. ✅ Ends with a real art you can give (or sell).
But! ❌ Doesn't have Undo ❌ No Selections, Filters, versionning, etc... ❌ Doesn't have hundred thousands color available ❌ It doesn't run Doom
