My wife is looking for a portable device primarily for modeling in Blender and optionally for drawing in Krita. So we looking for something with a GNU/Linux support from manufacturer.

We considered https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityFlex-14-Gen1, it looks nice, but maybe you have other suggestions? Do you have experience with convertibles, how convenient is to draw on them?

We also considered https://earth.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite for drawing and a separate device for Blender, but having two devices might not be convenient…

    Dell laptops usually have good Linux support, and they offer powerful machines, requirements and budget permitting.

      I have a Dell. Linux support is pretty amazing. But I wouldn’t recommend using blender unless it’s a Dell XPS.

        They’re not cheap, but the Precision series has all the CAD power you can ask for in a laptop.
