What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist

what is the best tablet for iodeOS, GrapheneOS and LineageOS

  • with smooth stylus support that is as good as apple pen
    • palm rejection
    • pressure sensitive stylus
    • works well for krita / excalidraw / xournalapp
    • latency
  • at least 16GB RAM and 256GB storage

For iodeOS, it doesn't seem to support any tablet device officially


For GrapheneOS, the only choice is google pixel tablet (or maybe pixel fold). However


For LineageOS

  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best performance?
  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best balance between price and performance?
  • Can someone share their stylus experience on krita / excalidraw / xournalapp?

Sincere thanks

EDIT:

  • ipad
    • I realize my title is confusing, when I say degoogle I really meant completely Open Source and private.
    • ipad with network disabled?
      • not feasible in my use case
      • apple backdoor is highly likely in my opnion
      • Of course I don't have any proof, but I would assume it runs camera and microphone without us knowing even when the network is disabled. The data is collected and processed locally and send to apple server when network is enabled
        • speech recognition is integrated in many app and sold to advertiser
        • I doubt apple could resist the temptation of money and the threat from government not to activate microphone and camera without us knowing
    • apple is as disgusting as google
  • but of course if this is the only choice ...

iPad. DeGoogled and widely supported for artistic apps.

Before I get downvotes; what else is there? Android tablets are a hot mess on their own before you even get into trying to run a DeGoogled OS.

If you are this paranoid, you should be using pen/pencil and paper.

I would write a rebuttal to each point, but I don’t care enough to do so.

also if you dont even care why paste your comment under my other cross post?

if you dont even care why comment?

if you are suggesting apple is better than google intermsof privacy I suspect you are a apple fanboy

My gf has an xppen tablet and loves it. But it runs android. I haven't looked into if I can easily install an alternative os.

It would be really great if you could lookinto it and provide your experience
