     The Minisforum V3 or V3 SE tablets should be powerful enough to run Krita on any Linux distribution you want.

     - Minisforum V3: AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, $999 USD
     - Minisforum V3 SE: AMD Ryzen 7 7735U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, $799 USD
     - You have to buy the Stylus (V Pen) separately: $59 USD

     @zeppy5d I don't know whether he uses Krita, but @neil uses Linux on a Microsoft Surface Go (1st Gen) tablet. I presume the digitiser works with the Surface Pen...?

     @Ertain @zeppy5d Unfortunately, there is not. iPad are still 10 years ahead in terms of hardware and software fine tuning together in this area. Some laptop with stylus (active stylus, with battery) like some Yoga thinkpad are compatible with the Wacom Bamboo Stylus, that's what I have: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article976/lenovo-yoga-370-on-gnu-linux-technical-companion-article , I also bought a Ms Surfaces 3 Pro but the implementation of their stylus (n-trig tech) is bad. Unusable for painting. And Krita in a context of tablet without keyboard is also meh. 😔

     @zeppy5d Sorry, there's very little hardware that *might* fit these specs. A tablet computer may be your best bet. This is because I don't know of any tablets that can run Linux well. Maybe @davidrevoy knows of one?
