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…

    Mostly sculpting, less rendering. So yeah, we aren’t GPU bound. Right now considering just a mini PC. Should be cheaper then a latpop since we don’t planning to work on the go, just need something portable. And a tablet for drawing.

      My 4 generation i7 4g desktop is still fine to do that. Lol.

      I won’t use that pc for complicated scanned un-optimisted scene though.
