I need a tablet for uni and I want to run Linux on it. It doesn’t need to be the fastest but it should be able to run Rnote and a web browser comfortably. It doesn’t need to come with Linux, I am comfortable with installing and managing my system. I thought about buying a Microsoft Surface since they seem to be supported prettty well but I want to see what alternatives there are.
It needs to have a Stylus for writing. I have around 450€ to spend and would go a little higher. Also I will probably buy a used device

It’s… Not great? Sure it’s performant but that’s there is going for it, the rest is really not that good for a tablet. They should have made this a gaming laptop and it would’ve been fine.
Zero complaints with mine. Linux daily driver, no issues at all. If OP didn’t actually mean a FULL Linux experience, then that’s something else, but this is the best one out there in tablet form with stylus afaik.
Kinda outside my price range. And there’s probably no used devices yet.
Well anything that is linux-first WITH stylus support isn’t going to be cheap.
The cheapest Linux tab I can think of is the DC-Roma II ($250), but it’s RiscV and meant as a development platform. No stylus support.
Similar in features is the Juno Tab 3 ($699), but it’s an n100 based tablet, and I don’t think it has stylus support.
Maybe you can find a used Lenovo Tab and root it to install Linux? I know you’re unlikely to do so on a Samsung.
