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.

        I agree. For the spec though, Dell aren’t any better value for money than laptops from the smaller ‘for linux’ sellers. Which is pretty cool. Of course it’s much easier to find used Dell laptops though.

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