You’re describing a sturdy tablet running Linux. Speaking of which, I just remembered the worst gift I have ever been given, a gen1 windows surface! The sack of shit couldn’t even run windows, the OS it was designed for, without freezing. Gonna see if I can dig it out and swap the OS!
Eh, it’s just not worth the effort to get a tablet that will still run poorly even after poring over half deleted xda threads. Were there any chance that the original surface running another OS could be useful, I’d do it. But it’d be a poor experience no matter what, based on what I’ve read.

Linux sucks on mobile
I wish it didn’t but in 2025 that is the state of things
And it seems like android sucks on there as well. Damn.
It is far better than anything else.
It isn’t ideal what Google is doing. However, Lineage OS and other ROMs are keeping the ecosystem alive. We also have F-droid which is great.
