Hello,
I am currently thinking about getting a PineTab2. I need a new tablet because my old one starts come apart day by day and I want to switch to Linux as much as possible. I use my tablet mostly to write (LibreOffice and LaTeX), organize personal documents and data, visit some websites on my breaks and really rarely to code simple little tasks in Python (I mostly did this while I was still in university).
So would the PineTab2 be a good product for all this? Has anybody experience with it or own one themself? My Linux experiences are limited but not non existent. Thanks in advance.

    My experience with pine64 in general, or with the pinebook in particular: cheap & transparent (and that’s what makes them so amazing), various OS versions available, but some work is required even if it’s preinstalled.

    AFAIU they take no responsibility whatsoever for the OS.

    I had no significant problems with the hardware.

    PS: I don’t think the PineTab2 is cheap. The Pinebook cost €99 plus shipping from China, which basically doubled the price.
